Wonderful fun. I recently wanted a red and white quilt and embroidered quilt designs on 12 inche squares and made a quilt. Turned out really great. Wonderful post and loved seeing your quilts.

• Mary C in WA says: I think it is a red and white year with the exhibition they had in NY. I made my grand-daughter at red white and Black OLVIA the Pig quilt a few years ago for her birthday. I made a medallion quilt with Jennifer Chiaverini's pattern, a Mariner's Compass in the center and done as a Round Robin with a Yahoo group last year. It is one of my quilts waiting for Quilting. You quilt just sings laying on the bed with the sunshine streaming in.

• Susan McAdams says: I really enjoyed seeing the process for making your quilt. I have been afraid to venture out and make something not using a pattern. I am still a little shaky on the math but your quilt is giving me the courage to try a design on my own. I have Quilt Pro 5 for my mac. This may make the design process easier for me.

  24th Aug, 2011 at 1:11 AM
• LJ says: Karen, I loved your "red" quilt that you shared with me/us at SEW WE QUILT. I love it! Your process was amazing. I usually think one must have the whole quilt mapped out before starting and you have given me a new way to think about designing. I wonder how you managed the task of having "enough" of all the fabrics you needed for the quilt.

  24th Aug, 2011 at 1:22 AM
