Ok, I have struggled through two months of self doubt and a project that wouldn't come together. My Red Riding Hood "quilt" is going great, but is not an overall red project and won't fit the requirement of being 24" X 24". I put together two other attempts, but both were horrible and I have trashed them totally.
Sooooooooooooooooo here

is my final version,deadline tonight. I still have to put the bias binding around the edgesand have a bit more quilting to do. Also I think I'm going to do someembellishing. Depends on how quickly I can get the house vacumned --the round robin group is coming to my house tonight. What do you think? It's supposed to be an art quilt. Supposed to read as red. I know it's not a square, but darn it, I have really fought with this project. I never want to see a red piece of fabric again. Christmas this year is going to be pastel. Or earth tones. Not red. No more red. Unh uh.
Please tell me what you think. It's a Tree of Life, done my style.
Sunny (I'll post another pic when It's completely finished, including close ups) Oh yeah, my sewing machine has a major problem. Tension went totally out of whack and I'm trying to quilt this on an ancient machine salvaged from a school home ec program. Sigh. The quilting on it looks pretty bad.
