I was waiting for the right project to use this red fabric. I was inspired by Bev's (no blog but you see her work on Quilts in the Barn blog and Quiltmania #85 issue!) blocks I saw recently. She is making it in red and white as well! The pattern is in Mary Kovals book, Blue and White Quilts.
I was so excited to use my new applique bag that Taryn sent me as a RAK...this is just the greatest applique tote bag I love it!
the pin cushion box is a giveaway I won on Shelia's blog, isn't it adorable, I just really love it. you can see all the goodies that are inside the box at her blog. Make sure you look around her blog she has made some amazing little quilts!
Its up on a bookcase now for me to just admire everyday! thank you!!!!!

You have been lucky getting those lovely gifts and finding a new project for your fabric. I have enjoyed seeing some of Bev's work, always of a very high standard.
Great fabric and love the fluer de lis shape. How big is it going to be?

I'm using the same red in a similar applique block (from one of Elly S.. what's her name books). Only one big block, a present for a friend who needs a little RAK too.
I Love seeing prints used on one piece applique' blocks. This will look great!
congrats on your fun win!
Love that applique block, nice idea to show off beautiful fabrics. Are you doing needle turn or machine applique?

That fabric is perfect for the project, just beautiful. Can't wait to see it all come together.
I've been watching Bev stitch her red quilt and it is wonderful. So much nicer in the red than the blue.
The red is a beautiful fabric, it'll shine in those blocks. Love the tote and the pincushion,congratulations on the goodies.
Right fabric for the right project!! Have fun stitching!! Hugs, Daniëlle
Unexpected but wonderful way to use this fabric. This will be a stunning quilt!
