Favourite Colours – Red And White!
Posted on | August 30, 2012 | 8 Comments
I have gone back to playing with my favourite combination of red and white.
I received some gorgeous blocks stitched by the amazing Pauline – Quilt-n-Queen. Pauline does the most beautiful stitching. I wanted to use the blocks in a quilt and make sure they were the focal point and not have the piecing take over. I ended up making very simple hourglass blocks in red and white, then alternating them with the stitcheries.
I hope to be doing the quilting on this top in the next few weeks. Pauline has chosen blocks that are appropriate to my state and I do love the selection.
But there is one block that is not on the front. I have saved that for a label on the back, and that seems appropriate because this building was always found out the back. :)
Thank you, Pauline, for your generosity.
OMG how did NOT see this….I had forgotten I had even sent them to you. Your quilt is beautiful…you know I love red and white. I love that ‘out back’ block…a little tedious to stitch but I love it!! It will make the perfect label. Thanks for sharing the quilt. Have a great weekend with lots of happy stitching, hugs Pauline
I like how you set these lovely embroidered blocks. You kept the red and white theme going but the embroidered blocks are still the highlight of this quilt. Very cool!
Hello Karen,
Love the stitchery, so love the idea of what is happening behind the scenes!!!
Happy quilting.

How very pretty, and you have done exactly the setting that shows the stitcheries to perfection.
Love it!!

Those stitcheries are sooo fun!! The hour glass blocks are perfect setting blocks.I love the lawn mower and vegemite and you made me laugh with what’s on the back.
