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!
I 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
I kinda like the blue - but then I think I see all things in patriotic anymore ;-)
