Time to Start Tweaking

I think this is enough red and white blocks for a small throw quilt, and I’ve begun playing with layouts.  This is not the final and there are still a couple of blocks I may want to replace with different fabrics, but I will sleep on it tonight.  It's amazing how looking at a photograph of a quilt makes trouble areas easier to spot.


I found this red and white print that may work for a border.




We had three hard freezes at the beginning of the week.  The high today was 40 plus degrees warmer than the highs Monday and Tuesday.  The wildflowers should be okay despite the freezes, but it remains to be seen if the peach crop will survive.  During an outing last week, we saw many orchards already in bloom.

I like all of the variety of reds in your quilt. Playing with layouts can be fun or frustrating, depending on the mix of blocks.

Love this....I see the pattern is really easier than it looks. I like the mix of fabrics and shades. Great variety.

we went from a low of 18 at the beginning of the week to what is supposed to be 70 this afternoon - here too some things were in bloom but I don't think the fruit trees had started so that is good. Love your red quilt
