A while ago I decided to make a red and white quilt. I started acquiring lots of different red fabrics with no idea what design I was going to use. In April, I came up with the idea of a Red and White Curved Log Cabin quilt, and the fun began.
After cutting the fabric, 2.5" strips for the red fabric and 1.5" for the Kona white, I got busy chain-piecing. Building those blocks was time-consuming and a lot of fun. I trued them up as I went.
Since I didn't do any careful planning, I ended up two blocks short! I made those two, plus one more for insurance, and played around with the layout
I played around with the layout and decide on this one. One of my friends sees PacMan and another sees bikinis! I love how it's laid out and stitched it together.
I used lots of leftover FQs from this project to piece the quilt back. You can see that Frisco is a big help, as usual.
I kept finding other things to do instead of calling my local LAQ and setting an appointment to bring this to her. I decided that my subconscious knew this quilt needed custom quilting! So I contacted someone who has done custom for me in the past and shipped it to her. Yes, it will cost more, but I think this quilt deserves custom quilting. I'll have it back in June after I return from my trip to Tuscany, Florence, and NYC.
May your bobbins always be full,
