  9. Stunning! Do you prewash? I don't, and I ask because the only time I ever made a quilt with a lot of red in it, it bled like a stuck pig and now all the other fabrics are kinda orangey...Yikes! I have been collecting reds for a red and white quilt "someday", but wonder if I should prewash them.

  10. That is really cute! Now I want one! Another project to put on the wishlist.

  11. OH, I LOVE it! How cute! If I weren't working like a mad woman on another quilt I'd grab all the red and white tones out of my stash and whip one together myself! That is adorable!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Very Nice! Is it a gift? Wrap it around a tube with a cute bow!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Oh that is SO cute!!! If I didn't have a mountain of Christmas gifts to finish I'd be digging through my red scraps right now!

  26. Love the quilt! Does this move you closer to your goal of finishing up your wips? (This WAS already on your list, yes?!!! LOL!)

    ReplyDelete
  27. I wanna know how you can keep producing stuff when everyone else is so busy with Christmas that most of us can't get near a sewing machine, let alone sew for ourselves now?? Do you have elves helping you??? I'm thinking...YES!!!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Oh I love This!!!!! Spectacular!!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I love red and white quilts!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I love your quilt? Is there going to be a tutorial for it? I would love to make one for the Christmas season (next year of course) but I could also see this style in blues and greens!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I'm not a quilter and I want one!! I think this would make a great duvet.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Really cool! I love the setting - very original!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I love it too! Wonderful!

    ReplyDelete
  34. It is sweet! I'd border it with a 1" green border and then find some candy can print fabric for an outer border. Throw anything on the back and bind it with a red & white polka dot and it's done!

    You'll love it once you quilt it up - I always do!

  54. LOVE this! Love the idea of setting strips at an angle like this! Great idea!

    ReplyDelete
  55. oh i love love love it!
    how do you get the strips to go diagonally (sp?) like that? i'd love a tutorial ........

    ReplyDelete
  56. eek?? I think it is really cute!! I like it!!

    ReplyDelete
  57. did you tread on a mouse.....? That was a big eeek for such a yummy quilt.
    What a difference an angle makes.

    ReplyDelete
  58. You are always so clever...

    ReplyDelete
  59. just how do you do it? Are your kids self-sufficient or do you have them working in a sweat shop in your basement? I would rather sew/quilt than feed my family or clean my house, but eventually they'd notice there wasn't food or toilet paper. Your productivity is awesome. Tutorial please...we can do this for Valentine's Day.

    Is that a "holy cow I love this quilt" eeeek or a "holy cow this is hideous" eeeek? I agree with everybody else that it's great. Love the reds. Melissa in Memphis

  65. I really love this, I was noticing today a large lack of red in my stash. I think I will make a resolution to remedy that.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I love it too. Will not it deformated during the quilting? I knoww, it is a beginner question.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  72. that looks yummy. I've tried your zigzag tutorial but I need more practice to get the dimension correct.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Did you just add to your list? That looks like a new start, not a finishing up of an old WIP. = ) Believe me, I am not throwing stones, however, because I live in a completely glass house. Looks great. I love red and white quilts.

    ReplyDelete
