Newest Quilting Project

I do believe I announced that my next quilt will be the Red Hot or Hot Red quilt shown in the recent edition of BH&G Patchwork & Quilting magazine.

Christmas went on forever here because of the weather in Minnesota and North Dakota. I have one more package to deliever out of town and then I will be able to CLOSE the door on 2009's festivities. One can develop negative feelings about a holiday that "drags."

So here I am ready for this year and yesterday pull all the startling "reds" I could find in my stash, washed, dryed and today I will iron them all and clear a bin to store them. Then I will look for material with ecru or winter white backgrounds with bright red flowers or accents for the variation geese. That pattern is all flying geese, but not geese in "flight." This will be challenging and fun. Need to keep testing the old mathematical mind to make sure it's working.

Glad you've mostly cleared the way to start that project, Rhoda. I can't wait to see it! :-)

Rhoda, I have had great luck with finding tiny Christmas prints to use for a light colored background with just a touch of red- and they weren't all that Christmas-y looking, either. Maybe you can still find some close-out holiday fabrics in the LQS or fabric stores.

Your project sounds delightful! I can hardly wait to see photos!
