These blocks are on the wall--
19 red blocks and two r/w/b blocks. A few blocks are hidden down lower. This quilt was the inspiration--
I made red blocks instead of the dark blue. So I laid the blocks out on a blue. But, should I use a red instead?
What do you think? I'm linking to Small Quilts and Doll Quilts, Monday Making, Oh Scrap, and Moving it Forward.
Today I bought fabric. A store near me is going out of business, the owner is retiring.
A stripe, a two purples, a pink, a blue, a brown, some lights, and a red wide backing. Not pictured (because it was already in the washer) is dark blue/white print wide backing. Wide backings were $12@yard. I can dye a wide backing but darker colors are harder to dye so I bought instead.
The stripe is for a bias binding, this is the border print. The brown is also for a binding. I bought colors I need. Five lights. So my stash report will have additions next week.

I really like how your blocks look with the blue background! They seem to "pop" more on blue! Pretty purchases! Have fun with the new fabric!
ReplyDeleteI like the blocks on either red or blue, but the blue gives it a little more contrast for me. Thanks for linking up with Design Wall Monday, Judy
ReplyDeleteI kinda like the blue - but then I think I see all things in patriotic anymore ;-)
