I got to dig into my red scraps & made ten red houses for the Quilter’s Cove QAL. I also discovered that I need to go shopping for some bright red FQ’s! I have a bin full of rust & maroon chunks inherited from an older quilter who had to give up her stash. I promised to use it up & I’m slowly doing that, but I’m low on bright reds. Apparently I decimated them last year! I have what I need to finish up March, but next year…… 🙂
My red-centric WIP for the month is done & ready for the quilter. This was a previous quilt group project & used up lots of red strips. My partners made theirs with 5 matching reds, but I had so many random red strips leftover from rolls that I figured scrappy was the way to go. I used them all & only cut a little yardage, then made the 3 stars from the same fabrics for consistency.
Aren’t those houses cute?! Love them, Sue! And your stars and stripes top is beautiful, too. I haven’t seen that design before (until you showed it, maybe last week?) but I really like it!
I tend to have brighter reds in my stash and not very many dark reds…. Nice red houses and the other quilt is a great way to use up strips.
