Red, White, and Black

Our third grandchild will graduate this year, and I've made a quilt for
each of them. I asked her what colors she wanted, and since her high
school colors and her college colors and the cover of her favorite book
are all red, white, and black - yep, that's what she wanted. Pics of the
finished quilt can be seen here if you'd like to take a look:

It's the first two pictures in the album.

That is stunning. I really like the contrast. She is a very lucky young
lady.

Thanks, Sandy. Yes, I did the quilting.

Red/white/black is such a graphic statement, Louise -- this looks great!
I suspect your DGD will love this quilt, and with good reason. Did
you quilt it yourself?

It' stunning.

Well, naturally, I have studied the quilt and surely it's a good thing that
it is well out of my reach. In one of the big squiggly white blocks, I
would be compelled to embroider a wee tiny spider, probably with crazy
crossed eyes. It just calls to me. Polly

Well . . . I haven't sent it yet. There's still time for a spider to
take up residence!

I didn't mention how terrific I think your choices in fabric are. I could
not, would not even begin to attempt to piece just plain black, white and
red. My favorite is the snow on the black; that's really, really Good.
Takes it from 'expected' to delightful. Polly

When I think of a red, white & black quilt, I imagine a very bright &
almost startling combination. Your quilt is is not like that at all.
Instead I was pleasantly surprised to see a very pretty, and classy
looking quilt. Good work!

And that, Polly, explains why you create such wonderful quilts! You see
what I don't. I looked at the black fabric and saw white dots on it. You
saw snow! That's so cool!

Thanks, Bev. I'm glad it was unexpected - I take that as a real compliment!
