Ruby, Scarlet, Rouge...........

whatever word you choose to use to describe the colour red is OK with me....I love it!  And red is an absolute favourite with the sisters too.

When my daughter decided she would paint one of the walls of her room red and chose a beautiful red carpet to go with it, I knew I needed to make a quilt to match.  Of course it has taken way too long to finish the quilt, but better late then never I say!


 The quilt I chose to make is called Indiana Starburst.  The pattern is by an Australian designer, Michelle Yeo.  It is all machine pieced.  I used fabrics from the Sturbridge Scarlet collection which was such a gorgeous and varied group it didn't need much else.

Here are a couple of close ups so you can see Katrina's wonderful quilting.


And one from the back so you can see some more detail.



Thanks Katrina, for making my quilt come to life!

Oh yes, thank you Clover for making beautiful red binding clips that match my quilt (lol).


They are the best binding clips I have ever used - truly - and so pretty.


I think she likes it.

Peace and Happiness,

Deb

What a gorgeous quilt. I came to your blog looking for photos of your Phebe. I am working on my center again and have a lot of the same fabrics that you've used. For some reason I have been feeling like mine is a little blah, but maybe if I keep adding the flowers and move on to the borders it will perk up a little. Your applique' is beautiful.
