A red and white finish!

Hello Everyone!  It feels like ages since I've taken part in TGIFF and Finish it up Friday, and I'm so glad to have one quilt finished.  This is my red and white quilt, made with the help of my on-line scrap-bee friends. 

Enjoy!

This shot is a little dark, but it does show the quilting rather well. I'm rather pleased with how this quilt turned out.  I'll be submitting this one to the Heritage Park Festival of Quilts this May!


A closer look at four smaller blocks - a great way to use up your scraps.


A close up of the back (the flash makes this look much brighter than it is...really), highlighting the baptist fan pattern used to quilt it.  I had this one long-armed instead of quilting it myself.  I even considered hand quilting it, but realized I probably wouldn't have it done in time for the festival.


Now I just have to figure out what name I should give this quilt...

  2. Love it, love it, love it! The white in each block reminds me of icicles. Very striking.

  10. what a cool design!
    I'm with you on finishes. I love this linky hop but don't get to link up often because it takes me awhile to get a quilt made amongst all the other crafts that I do.
