I love the look of this block and well as you can see I am still in the red and white phase! I am still working out of the scrap basket right now. I spent a few hours in the sewing room yesterday and it felt good! its been a few weeks...like all of you this time of year just keeps us way too busy but fun! just kept making blocks...
Its fun revisiting some of my favorite fabrics...A little tip here to help your fabric budget go further, use a muslin or a solid color fabric as the background its cheaper to buy and makes the prints stand out in mho. Not only that its also makes it easier, less choices of which fabrics to put together, something I always spent a bit of time thinking about :), ok maybe too much time!
I was playing around with settings....This is twin size and maybe the one I go with...9 x 10 setting
my next 10 blocks ready for me to start sewing today when I have time today hopefully!
I need to make a little quilt out of this block, I am loving the way the 9 blocks look together don't you think this would be a great little quilt?

That is such an effective block especially in red and white/cream. Yes , the 9 would look great as a mini quilt.
thanks :D , I need to add that quilt to my To do-list. We are on vacation in the Alps and to be honest I 'm getting really bored. Reading quilting blogs doesn't help at all when i'm having only thrads for knitting here.
I wish you a wonerfull new year.

Very cute block and you can't go wrong with red and white!
Very pretty and I want to see the little one :-)! (are you making the Temecula 12 Days?)
Very cute little 9-block quilt - agreed!
I'm stuck on red/white too. Promised myself the first project of the New Year would actually be for ME for a change.
Let's see if I follow through! LOL
Wonderful blocks! I think the red and white is stunning!
The more I see the red and white the more I know I must make one too! That will make a really neat little quilt.
Red is definitely your favorite color!
I love that little block too. I had an old UFO that I wasn't thrilled with my fabrics choices but I will remake it going completely scrappy. I just wish they had a GO Die to cut it all.
I totally love what you've done so far. This is such a great block, simple yet has charm and movement. I think a mini quilt would be great too.
I love the way it looks too.....love the colors as well. Your tulips below are just wonderful!
your blocks look great, they'd be wonderful in a little quilt.
great inspiration!
Anything you make would be a great little quilt!!
It's red and white here, too. I like the 9 block quilt and yes the muslin makes the prints pop out. It's good for showcasing the quilting too.
What a fun quilt pattern!!
I can't wait to see what you do with the red and white, I need to hit my stash for some and make a valentine piece.

Love love love your blocks. I have this pattern but haven't tried it yet. Might have to dig in the scrap tub and get to work!!
I've been in a red and white phase too. I think the Infinite Variety show keeps calling and calling to me.
I like the reds, too. I think your idea of a mini a month is a fun plan! I sure would enjoy a wall full of "littles" ~
:-}pokey
You definitely need a large and small version of this one. I never get tired of seeing red & white quilts. Even all those red & whites at the NY show weren't too many for me. :)
"Like." A lot. What's the pattern, please?
I do love your red pinwheels, dancing across the quilt. What size are your blocks?
I hope you continue your red and white phase for a long time. I love this one, too.
Fun block! Are you using a template or a ruler? I like your reasoning on the background fabric. Lovely reds!
Love all the red prints!! What a great project.
Red and white really do look great toghether and it´s a nice block. It´s my first visit to your blog but these stunning red and white blocks made me deside to put you on my blog list just to be sure not to miss the finishing of this quilt!

I love this block too...lots of possibilities!
Great red prints - they just dance on that bright, light background!
What a great block, yes it would be a cool little mini quilt.
You can't get enough of the reds and whites!!!
It will be a brilliant little quilt, Kathie - I have loved that design for some time!
Hugs - Lurline♥
I love the fabric you have used in that first block.
The nine blocks together would make a great quilt!
What size are our blocks?
Happy New Year!! I hope 2012 brings you lots more red and white quilts.
Love it! And it would be sweet as a mini! I just might have to pull out some reds....thanks!
Such a simple block, yet so effective and pleasing to the eye! A small quilt would indeed look very nice!!!
Your blocks look great Kathie - you can never go wrong with red and white (I think). Happy New Year!
These blocks are beautiful. Love all the reds - Happy New Year Kathie - Hugs

Love your red and white beauty so far! I fell in love with a cream and red toile at the quilt shop yesterday and it seemed to have followed me home! Happy New Year!
Kathie-I wanted to tell you about a red and white quilt mystery that lasts all year long.

i bet you would love it.
I think you should spin a couple the wrong way : )
I like your red and white theme. I especially like your blocks. Years ago I made some of these blocks for a donation quilt. We called it the "Fun Patch". It was a lot of fun to put together.
I love the reds and the tessellated pattern, it'll be wonderful.
The design looks so nice in red and white.
I need to go see what I have and maybe make up a small valentine piece this week.
Debbie
This is so cute and so simple. Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks for sharing this cute little tut. Reds are my very favorite, so this would be an adorable one to make for Valentine's Day.
