I made my goal, no thanks to troubles with "Betsy"
When I posted the top it was the evening before the Deadline HERE.
Nothing like a 'deadline' to motivate me.
The quilt patterns are:
Lana's Freebie in the border squares in a square.
BDR Kim's Swirl in 3 sizes for the 3 red borders.
Chantilly Block #2
Windee 4 for the white space.
"Betsy" is my Viking 18-8 Quilting machine with QuiltSewClever.
It was quilted it with a Verigated Signature Red thread on top and a solid Red on the bottom.
I like the swirly quilt patterns. Can you tell??
I used a Soft & White Polyester Batting and binding is more of the Red ShadowPlay.
In no particular order...
Red Chicken
Regal Aristocrat
Strawberry Patch
Star Bright
Rubies and Diamonds
Diamond Bliss in Red
Diamonds are a Girls' Best Friend
Velvet Star
Any thoughts from my Blog visitors???

The label is a square of Kona White folded diagonally in the corner.
I found this backing at my LQS.
It was extra wide so I didn't have to piece the fabric I thought I was going to use.
( I have the rest of it to use for another fun quilt.)
I would probably quilt it differently if I had to do it over again.
This quilt still needs a Name.
On Facebook I got many suggestions for the name of this one.In no particular order...
Red Chicken
Regal Aristocrat
Strawberry Patch
Star Bright
Rubies and Diamonds
Diamond Bliss in Red
Diamonds are a Girls' Best Friend
Velvet Star

ReplyDeletePretty quilt--I think the quilting is great! I'm horrible at choosing names--sounds like you have lots of creative options. Did you manikage to stay up for the eclipse?,
ReplyDeleteHow fun! So glad you finally have the opportunity to be creative with your own resources. That backing fabric is one of my favorite designs. I used it in brown on my 1892 Rondure. Clever way to do the label too --keeps it quick and easy! Love it!
ReplyDeletenames....hmmm. Scotch Cross. Not sure it even applies for real, but seemed like more of a medallion in the center so tried to think of something that it might represent.
It's really pretty and I love the quilting. Great job!
ReplyDeleteLovely design - and lovely quilting too. Grin I'm a bit like that with deadlines too - but I didn't get mine quilted!!
ReplyDeleteI like the name Diamonds and Rubies, it seems fitting. Will you be bringing this to guild for us to admire?

I love the swirly quilting and vote for diamonds and rubies for the name. And like you, deadlines work for me too! Sorry to hear about your troubles with Betsy-- I hate having troubles with my machines, especially when trying to meet a deadline.
