I am in love with hers and it looks so pretty in red, too! I can't wait to see a finished picture of your quilt! I will get a picture of my mom's and post it on here when she gets done with it.

Cool! I might have to add some boys, too, although I only have granddaughters at this stage of the game, so I was originally just thinking girls.

Love your Red Work. Look forward to seeing the other blocks as you get them done and also your finished quilt. I get inspiration for all of you on this forum.

Ohhh ... How cute the images are! I love the redwork and bluework too.
Your little quilt is going to be just darling and you are doing a great job on them!

I just bought a new redwork pattern to make too. The little children are playing in the snow. It is a original sunbonnet series from a gal in tonopah, nv. The vender who had made it up and displayed it at her booth used a varigated red dmc thread that was so cool! It brought the images alive. I am making mine with that thread this time.
