i'm trying :)

i found some more blocks that were going to be a quilt that got shoved to the side (for at least two years). and because of the fabric in the block there is NO WAY i could let them go to waste. :) this is my ALL TIME FAVORITE fabric. i just LOVE this red polka dot!!! i was going to make a quilt i had done in the past with these but apparently i only made 8 of these block instead of the 12 i needed, so i improvised. it was fun trying to figure it out.

i got to use up the last big portions of this joann star fabric that i have in about every red quilt i've made. which has be A LOT. sad to see it go but it's been a good friend. i of course still have some scraps just not yardage. and here is the final product. :) it was fun to challenge myself with some triangles. i think i realized i really do like these stars and blocks together. hope you have a good day. i'm off to tournaments all day!

  2. Love the look of this quilt - the red and white with touch of taupe is gorgeous. Kind of reminds me of redwork :-)

  5. You are right, polka dots (especially red and white) are always happy. Nice job on the red and white blocks.
