I'm still cutting strips and squares for my next quilt project. The stacks of stash fabrics to cut don't seem to be getting any smaller, either! I am using over 40 blacks, over 20 cream/white and close to 100 reds, almost all from stash and some using up the very last scrap of a piece of fabric! It's been a lot of fun to revisit some of the reds that have been in more than one past quilt and some that there is only one or two 2-1/2" squares left.
I was so anxious to see the pattern, though, I had to put together four blocks to inspire me to continue with all of the cutting! Here is the first corner, and I'm loving it!
I had to laugh because my DD made me a card at school for Mother's Day and it listed my favorite things. She listed my favorite color as red, which it is not, but I assume she probably thinks so after seeing me working with this giant pile of red fabrics for the last few weeks!
That's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your progress on this quilt. The contrast with red, black and white is going to be great. I like scrap quilts too. They have a unique artistry all their own. It will be one of a kind with your signature on it.
