Rouge et blanc; Rode en witte; Blanquirrojo
Quilters love squishy envelopes in the mailbox. It is even better when the squishy envelope is a generous gift. Kathie sent some ecology cloth which I think is the perfect “white” for a vintage looking red and white quilt. Thanks Kathie!!
I saw an adorable doll quilt when I visited the Greenwich (Connecticut) Historical Society last year and have been wanting to reproduce it ever since. So, I washed my new ecology cloth, chose the perfect red and played around trying to make a small “T” block. The first one was pretty terrible, the second was better and I had it pretty much figured out by the third. I am pleased with how the colors reproduce the look of one of my vintage red and white quilts.
Here is the first row of “T” blocks. It takes a long time to make such a small block so I am even using the trial blocks. The original quilt wasn’t perfect and neiher will this one be. I pulled the winners of the magnet sets from the Virtual Red and White quilt exhibit. Congratulations to: Elizabeth, Lynn, and Diane. Thank you to everyone who shared a quilt! I loved getting inspired by your treasures.
Shucks! I was hoping to win one as they were sold out by Monday. Congrats to the winners. I see a red & white quilt or two in my future. What a fun show you put on, thanks for letting me share my pieces of work.
Everyone is doing a red and white quilt!! I have to get things off my list so I can start one. You have inspired me. I love your Ts so far.
The little T block with the rail fence type border? That was one of my very favorites at the show. Ecology cloth/muslin really has a great look to it, doesn't it? Looks like you found a great red, too!
Love the red/white blocks. It took me a minute, but I see how they are pieced. Neat.
What a perfect pattern for using your r&w!! It's going to be so cute!!
Well that was sure nice of Kathie:) Your quilt is quite lovely!
Love your new header!
How great are these little Ts – I love the t block and in red and white its a winner!
Love those little T blocks!
Can you share some info on ecology cloth in one of your future posts?
You reminded me of the ecology cloth hidden in my stash somewhere. I've not used it before. Love your T blocks!
congrats to the winners, They were sold out of magnets when I went to the show , I hope they reprint them. I need a set of them!
the t blocks look great, glad you like the ecology cloth 🙂
my favorite!
ooohhh love that nine patch quilt in the background, pretty sneaky showing parts of that 🙂
