Once that quilt was off the design wall I pulled out the red/white and blue blocks. I intended on just figuring out a layout and sewing them together later.
My daughter ended up having 3 other 15/16 year olds over so I ended up staying (hiding) downstairs for most of the afternoon/evening. Since there isn't a very comfortable place down there to just sit and watched TV I spent a good portion of the time sewing. I got all these blocks (don't know the name of the pattern) laid out and then sewn together. It is now just waiting for me to pick out some fabric for a border and get that on the quilt. This quilt will be part of a May deliver of quilts that will be going to wounded soldiers.
I did so well reaching all my goals last week that guess I will set some for this week.
1. Finish customer quilt currently on the frame
2. Quilt two more customer quilts (one baby sized, the other a long twin)
3. Get borders on r/w/b quilt
4. Work on sewing backing squares together for teal/purple day bed quilt

Wow, Kathie! That second quilt is awesome! It was worth the evening in hiding. LOL!
Do you already know how you'll quilt the first one? I've loved watching its progress; the colors are wonderful!
Happy Monday! :)
Gosh Kathie the day bed quilt is awesome. Such great colors
This is "Split Decision" and it looks fabulous! My friends and I made a scrappy version for a quilt auction coming up in May. Isn't it a fun block to sew?!?
Those are both lovely quilts. The "Split Decision" quilt just jumps off the page, the colours are so vibrant. Great job.
I am not usually a R/W/B fan but your "Split Decision" quilt is quite striking.
Split Decision is fantastic, good going!
Love the red, white and blue blocks in the Split Decision pattern. It really catches your attention.
They are both gorgeous, Kathie! Really nice work! :) Dianne B. in England
