I just finished a rag quilt that I have been wanting to make since January 2012, when I laid it out for a customer. She wanted a queen size black and white rag quilt with matching shams but she wanted me to throw in some random reds. I showed her two options of reds. She picked this one:
And here's the quilt/throw I finished yesterday:
On to My April TO-DO List. Here's what I have in mind to do this month.
1. Make a set of quilted nesting/stacking blocks for a friend using Winnie the Pooh fabrics
2. Make another set of quilted nesting/stacking blocks for a friend using Star Wars fabrics
3. Make an Elementary School t-shirt quilt for a teacher friend who is retiring in June.
4. Hopefully get another order for a t-shirt quilt that a lady asked me to do yesterday.
5. Make some rag quilted baby bibs for my etsy shop.
This has really helped me to focus on what I need to get done so Thank you Thearica!
Love the black white and red contrasts. Both reds look great!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sylvia! Love your blog! I just started following.
DeleteI love these colors together. They both look great and so different! Good luck on your to do list this month.
ReplyDeleteThank you laurelar! I hope the quilt sells.
DeleteAwesome quilt. I love your black, red and white color choices! Both are great and it would have been difficult for me to decide. Thanks for sharing and good luck with your April list!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I didn't have to decide. I always like it when my customers decide for me. The hardest thing for me is picking the right colors. It's the thing I fret about the most. Thank you DeAnna!
DeleteGreat quilt and the colors together are yummy. Visiting from Thearica's Saturday Sharing Day at Pigtales and Quilts.
ReplyDeleteThank you Siouxzq64! I'm so glad you dropped by. I hope you'll come again.
DeleteThank you all for the compliments and encouragement.
ReplyDeleteI really like the last black/white/red one. If you don't mind sharing where did you find the different red and black flannel? I've wanted to make one like that one is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI got almost every one of those fabrics at Joann fabrics and the prints are all cottons. I used flannels on the 2nd and 3rd layers.
DeleteLove the black and white quilt. What size are the blocks?
ReplyDeleteI almost always do 9" squares. The queen size may have been 12".
