Big Red & More

 

I finished sewing the Big Red flimsy together. I knew I would add a red binding to it, so I added a white border. When I started this quilt I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. But now I really like it.

I picked up three quilts from Janet-Lee Santeusanio, my long arm quilter. This is the second Nightingale quilt.

This is the Needle in a Haystack quilt. The quilting on these is very nice, but you may need to click the photo to enlarge so you can really see it.


This is the orange Carnelian quilt. I like all three quilts, and I don't really have a favorite, but I like this a lot.

I've already made the bindings for all these quilts, so I have quite a lot of binding in my future. 



Which is fine, because I've got new flooring being installed in my kitchen and hallway, and I'm also having the carpet removed in the dining room and it will be replaced with a hard surface floor. I'll need to keep out of the way of the workmen, so I will be in the studio.

Stay tuned!

Just lovely quilting on your beautiful quilts!! You don't need an excuse to stay in your studio--but, having workman installing floors is certainly reason enough;))) Hugs, Julierose

big red is gorgeous! I like red too but the white border looks great & seems to make the darker reds pop!

Hi Millie, what a beautiful post chock a block with these stunning quilts. I love them all and you are right, the quilting lines up close are the icing on the top. What a sense of accomplishment you must have with these lovely finishes!

You may not have a favorite but I do….I love Carnelian. Love, love, love it! How exciting to be getting new flooring….. how perfect to have binding to keep you busy while staying out of the way.

Gorgeous quilts you picked up - the quilts AND the quilting. Have fun with the binding and fingers crossed for the flooring project.
