I’ve been thinking about “red” a lot lately. First there was this post by Nicole that got me thinking about red shoes. Then, I kept hearing about a red scalloped cake plate at Target (from Elizabeth, Pam, Camille, and Pat just to name a few). Luckily I was able to pick one up after visiting only one store!
I’ve noticed a lot of red around my home as the Christmas quilts are being taken out of the chests and closets…
And…I’ve bound 6 quilts in the last ten days…all of which have red bindings on them!
They’re not all Christmas quilts…the quilt above is one I’d used mostly Chocolat’ by Moda for, but didn’t ever purchase fabric for binding. I noticed the other day that the solid red tonal of Glace’ matched perfectly…and now this quilt that’s been sitting for over a year and half without a binding is getting bound!
I noticed that even the blocks I’ve been working on lately have red in them. Block 6 from Fat Quarter Shop’s Designer Mystery Block of the Month arrived a couple of weeks ago, and I finished it this weekend.
I also worked on finishing my December Schnibbles this weekend…and it has red in it too…but I can’t share that until Tuesday!
Hope you have a wonderful week…see you on Tuesday!

I love all those reds you discovered around your house. Cool cake plate too. I've always wanted one of them. How cool that you have so many red bindings. Your quilting projects look lovely!

Chocolate Cat says
What a lovely lot of 'eye candy'!! especially that cake plate, will have to check out our Target on the slight chance we will have one too!!
Nedra says
Red is a power color. Usually when we are drawn to add more red in our lives, it can mean we would like more self power.
And to bind that many quilts in such a short time is awesome. You really are a prolific quilter!
CJ says

What a lovely post! It makes me look at my own house differently again. I guess I would have to go for pink, because there is hardly any red here. Maybe upstairs?
Cindy says
Your post today has SO much I just love about it. I'm doing the Fat Quarter Shop Glace BOM, I LOVE the Chocolat line of fabrics (I have a small drawer solely devoted to any Chocolat(s) I have left, and last, but not least, I have done the "Litlle Quilt" that you show with Santas and trees (it was done for our daughter a few years back).
Red……..it's just "there".
Cindy says
Love red! You're making me want to go to Target for one of those cake stands!

I gravitate towards the maroonish reds and burgundy. Your reds are beautiful and the red binding appears to be perfect!
Shasta says
Red is a beautiful color – so nice and cheery! Your projects are beautiful – and very productive – that's a lot of bindings, and finished products all at once.
Dawn says
I like this kind of "seeing red"!

You can copy it from there. Sorry about not emailing the link. I just can't do it from my kids PS3. That's what I'm using to get online.
Hugs Ariane

Binding! That's a lot of binding! I really dislike doing binding which is funny because it means you're almost done, right?
