When Amanda Jean said she wanted a red and white quilt — only red and white — I thought, no problem. I have a ton of red fabric in my stash. Well, it turns out I didn’t have any of the right red and all the right reds had a little something else in them too — green, pink, tan. So I finally got myself to a fabric store last week and picked up a few red and white prints. I decided to make a star since Amanda Jean helped me begin to conquer my fear of triangles. I had to rip out the last seam about four times before I was satisfied with it. It is still not perfect but the points in the middle match so I’ll live with it.
Courtney sent three solids and asked us to create a square that was bordered in the muslin color. Courtney said: feel free to tea dye, distress fabrics, or to pair them with things that appear just a little “off.” And if it’s a fabric that looks like it was your grandpa’s work shirt, or your grandma’s house dress even better. So I wanted my square to look like it was pieced together with little leftover or re-used scraps. I think I did it. Well, I hope I did.
So very pretty! I still don’t have a clue what I want. Help!
you did great on both of them!
yay yay yay yay yay
they are both lovely! I am so excited!
They are beautiful! Nice work. I’m sure they will love them.
I like the brown and blue together on the second one. I bet that will be a stunning quilt, with the muslin around each square.
Beautiful blocks - you did a great job. And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my pillow!!!!
happy mothers day! your family is so sweet!
I am loving this Virtual Bee. I need to start one or find one for myself. It would force me to step out of my Patchy Squares comfort zone. Thanks for sharing each month.
