Fun fact.... one of the red dyes decided to "catch" in a few of the white shirting fabrics. I always find this interesting when this happens to some whites but not others. I did not have any pink background fabrics in my quilt, but now I do... I'm ok with that.
I arranged some quilts in my hallway. I have been really lazy lately in hanging anything new, and have had bare walls for a few years. The blue star quilt was going to be for the doll quilt exchange, but I changed my mind and went with something else. I blogged about it last year (you can find the post in my 2015 finishes tab). The black and red quilt was from an ebay auction of 1880's blocks. I finished it up years ago. It's wavy, and I love it. The painting was from my grandma, it was a house that she grew up in at Wagner Mill Pond in Monroe, WA.
the other wall (we need to remove that old thermostat, but haven't gotten around to it yet). The first quilt was one I received from the 2015 doll quilt exchange. I love it. It says Friends are the sunshine of my life in embroidery. Next is a fall harvest panel that I cut up and spaced in an attic windows view. And the last was a doll quilt exchange quilt I received this year. It is looking very fall-ish in my hallway right now. I need to get working on some Christmas and winter quilts next!

I like your finished quilt a lot! The quilting looks great and the striped border gives a good finished. Love the red and black quilt too, a simple yet different block with great intersecting designs.
ReplyDeleteYour Madder quilt looks great. It's good you like the running reds turning blocks to pink. I know some quilters would be very unhappy. I also like your border. I'm still deliberating about putting one around my quilt. I'll be posting it in a day or two.
ReplyDeleteI like all the quilts in your hallway. It looks warm and homey. And I especially like that orange quilt. And the red and black one. And the blue and white stars. Heck, I guess I really like all of them!
Good job. Good to have them where you can enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilts! I want to redo my hall wall to pictures and quilts. I love the old thermostat. :) And your Grandmother's painting is fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteYour QM looks wonderful and i like the little 'surprise' of pink, it wouldn't worry me either! I've enjoyed seeing your other quilts too :))
ReplyDeleteI love your hallway of quilts! They are all great and great on the finish!
