Red, White, and Black

Thanks, Lizzy. I really had a good time making it - but I have to admit,
I'm ready to explore some other colors now. I feel as though I've done a
lot of this color combination lately. I probably haven't, but it feels
that way!

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

Thanks for that compliment on the complement! Each of the fabrics had
its own graphic design in it, and that made me think about doing just an
overall design, but in the end, I went with my heart, and I think it worked.

Even better! That's really a nice quilt, and the quilting complements it
so well.

It's the first two pictures in the album.


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?

Thanks, Maureen! I hope she likes it as much as we do!

What a wonderful combination! I really like the alternating light and
dark squares with the Ohio Star effect.

Thanks, Roberta. I have EQ to thank for that. Once I decided on the
block and color placement, I used EQ to rotate every other block and
those light and dark squares emerged - I thought it was more interesting
than the traditional, every-block-the-same orientation.

That is a handsome quilt. Great gift and you must be

Thanks, Taria! Yes, I'm early, but not really! I had her brother's made
by Christmas of his junior year. For granddaughter #2, I finished by
April prior to graduation (I really did plan to get it done by Christmas
of the year before, but you know how that goes!). So for this one, I'm
late in comparison to delivering her brother's and early in comparison
to delivering her cousin's. Oh, well, she's a forgiving child!
