Almost two months ago I asked for help on picking borders for this quilt. Since then it has sat in the WIP pile waiting for me to get a walking foot because I wanted to quilt this with lines.
I got my foot and finished it up! It come out as 49 x49. It is made from 2 charm packs of Rouenneries by French General for Moda Fabrics, border and backing are from my stash.
I am calling it Red Squared, (in honor of my daughters math homework). If you look close you can see the tag on the right side of the backing. This is the first quilt I have sewn a tag on.
Loving this fabric so much, I could not waste a single square, so I made up a little mini that served as practice for the walking foot and is now designated as a candle mat.
I am sharing this for Sew and Tell, be sure and check out the other projects this week! Also, be sure to check back on Monday 2/1 when I will be posting a give away!
I like how you pieced the back of this! Making a little mini quilt looks fun, too.

Very attractive quilt! I love, love, love red! Good quilting job! I also make little mats for under candles, decorations on shelves, etc. Softens up a room, I think.

ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your quilts. I have some of that fabric too. I couldn't resist such a wonderful range. It was just so different and vintage looking. I am hoping to cut mine up into triangles.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is gorgeous and your little mats are super cute! I still do not know how to use my walking foot.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely--I love making things out of the leftover bits (we already know they look good together). Nice job.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects. I can see why you wanted to use all the fabric. The mini is great. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI can never settle on what is my favourite fabric in that line. I have a bunch and can't bear to cut into it. But seeing yours may give me that push I need to make something out of it! Great finish - thanks for sharing!
