red part one: the block

Another month, another one quilt. Gosh, I had fun this round. Leah (the hyena) wanted bright scrappy blocks based on somewhat traditional patterns. She sent out four color groups of scraps (red, orange, green, blue) and I was lucky enough to get red. I love quilting with red!

Most of these fabrics are from Leah, but there are a couple from my stash. The star pattern is both incredibly graphic and traditional, and I liked it more after I had completed the block. I could really see doing a whole quilt of these. Instructions at http://www.quilterscache.com/, but darned if I can remember which one. Not so useful with all those patterns, hmmm.

On a totally different note, Mo is auctioning off the most luxe doll bed for Nie Nie. Go see it. It's awesome. She's helping and being all too generous in the process.
