Back to the Red Sticks

I sewed the blocks together for the Red Sticks quilt. Millie helps quite a lot.  I've decided to add a thin black and white border around this before I add another row of red blocks. The border blocks will be red with red sticks, and I've already sewn several.

  1. Beautiful! The border should really set it off nicely too!

  3. It's lovely! And I get a kick out the fact that you call it Red Sticks. The sticks aren't red. But the blocks are sticks, so it sort of makes sense.

  4. I think Millie might be trying to tell you that you need more black and white in this quilt, Lynne. Perhaps she didn't hear you say that you'll be using black and white for the first border.

  5. It looks like that 'Pick Up Sticks' game we had as children, scattered on a red carpet. Gorgeous!

  6. You are absolutely correct Lynda, and "Pick Up Sticks" will be the final name for this quilt.
