Hello Everyone,
Well I did it! Red Sky is together and waiting for borders.
This quilt looks much more complex than it actually is. There are only two different blocks in the quilt, 18 star blocks, and 17 chain blocks. The fabrics were designed by Betsy Chutchian for Moda, and are called Nancy's Needle.
Each star block has a different paisley in the center.
There are only two seams per side that had to be matched when joining the blocks together. That makes life easy.
This week I want to get the borders on her, make the backing, and get her on the long arm. The weather is halfway decent, so I won't have to wear my long johns, leg warmers, and gloves while I'm quilting her in the detached, unheated, garage.
Since the name for this quilt is Red Sky At Night, I think I'll name the next one Sailors' Delight.
Soon,
Lynn
