My first post of 2016!
I am feeling very creative this year, and
have set some new sewing goals.
The state of Utah Quilt Guild will be
celebrating a big anniversary in 2017
and has asked individuals and local
guilds to make Red and White quilts.
The quilts will be part of a touring
exhibit thru the state of Utah during
2017. I love red and white quilts!
I am making my own...here are the
first blocks...
I am basing my blocks on 3 inch
measurements. The blocks
(left to right) are;
Rows 1-2: 6 inch
Rows 3-4: 9 inch
Rows 5-6: 12 inch
I would also like to make some 15
and maybe one 18 inch block.
As part of my hand work, I am
thinking of doing some hand
embroidery in the white centers
of some of the blocks.
Todays hand work....back to my
trip around the world. I am going
for a King size.
What are you working on?

I love your red and white blocks! I look forward to seeing your progress.
What an exciting project!
I love red and white quilts, your blocks are looking good.
Loving the red and white quilt blocks, the trip around the world is going to be beautiful when complete.
Your so ambitious to go king size on your TATW. They are fun to stitch. I need to get some backing so I can baste mine so it can be quilted next fall. I love two color quilts also. I have had a bolt of red and a bolt of white in my stash for three or four years now. Maybe someday I will get to it! Happy Stitching today
Red and white is such a classic color combination. Love where your quilt is headed.
Love, love red and white quilts. Your blocks are great. Visiting for the first time from Kathy's Quilts. Glad I found you.
Red and white quilts just sing!!! You are ambitious to make your TATW king sized!
Wow, king size TATH! Your red blocks are wonderful.
