    Thanks for all the postive comments. I am surprised at the number of people watching this quilt grow with me. It is very true that the help I got in starting this quilt is why it looks the way it does. I am delighted to know that the "red people" like it.

    This quilt is so so so so fun to make. I am happy to have insipred others to give it a try - you will love it.

    I am just here camping for the week and then I return home to the three kids, hubby, and multiple pets. I want to get as close to done here as possible.

    I would like to know what you think I should do for the binding/border. I was not planning to put on a border. What color would you recomend for the binding. Someone did say that any more red might be too much :) Should I use a color other than red?

    That yellow square on the top left is not actually there, not sure what it is. This is the bottom half.\ of the quilt.

    I'd choose one of the darker fabrics from the quilt.

    Its stunning, I want it! It would look great on my couch...

    maybe black for the binding if you don't want to do red. I actually think one of the darker but not the darkest fabrics would look good for a binding. I would also skip the border. I am becoming less of a fan of borders lately... Looks great!!

    This is fantastic! I cannot wait to see the finished quilt. Maybe the darkest color in the quilt for the binding? Please post a pic when it is finished!

    Stunning! I would use one of the darker reds for a binding myself! What are you doing for a backing?

    I would also go for the darker fabric.

    And that is one stunning quilt. I love the layout.
    I think it has a real exotic Indian vibe to it. Very hot!
