Whats on the cutting table this am ready for me to sew together! When will I ever get tired of sewing with red and white? Not sure I ever will! I was so inspired after I saw Lori's quilt finished (see her new header picture!) I knew I had to make one too, lucky for me a quilt like this as on my list to make someday. I emailed Lori and thanked her for the inspiration! Just hope mines turns out as beautiful as hers.
stay tuned!
Ruth McKendry 1979, many wonderful antique quilts in the book , just be warned at least 1/2 are in black and white.
Its a book worth having in your library if your always looking for inspiration. I have a few quilts in here I know I am inspired by for my 2013 list of quilts to make!
Have a great weekend, take time for yourself.... take a few stitches and relax.

After making a triple Irish Chain block I have had a whole quilt of those blocks on my list.
Looking forward to watching yours grow.
Good Morning! Circle blocks are my next thing! I am working on a few new ideas now and can't wait till I can start sewing them! Love your red and white...it will be beautiful! I think I have that book you showed...will have to go dig it out of the pile!
Those wagon wheels inspire me too
I haven't joined the red and white bandwagon yet, but I love seeing yours :)!!!
Looking great Kathie!!
Sometimes black and white lets us see the pattern and not just the color. Looks like an interesting book.
Isn't Lori's new header great? Love it!
Your quilt will be just as lovely! Can't wait to see what quilting design is brewing for the alternate squares.
fun checkered boards! so cheery
great looking book!
I love the red and white checks! Yep....I'll never be bored by them, either! And that book looks great! I love that wheel quilt....wonky and fun!
I'm curious - which is your very favorite quilt book for inspiration? You post so many good ones!
Red and white will never go out of style! Love your start. Lori makes lots of quilts to admire, I agree! Thanks for the heads up on the quilt book, too :)
thanks for the book recommendation. i'm always looking for books with old, traditional quilts to provide inspiration.
Love your red and white blocks can't wait to see what you do with them. Thanks for the book recommendation.
Can´t wait to see finished.Happy sewing!
Love the red and white. The circle quilt is just wonderful!
Hugs - Lurline.
It's always fun to see what you have on the design wall. I wonder what you'll decide to do. I do love triple Irish chain quilts.. Thanks for showing us that circular crazy quilt- it's really wonderful!
I noticed Lori's new header too and had the same thoughts that a red and white triple chain might have to be added to my list. I love the fact that you already started! Your energy is a great motivator for me. Thanks.
I don't get tired of red and white quilts and don't think I ever will. And quilts with circles intrigue me too.
You seem to have lots of energy right now. Cutting and piecing so fast!
I love the wheel quilt, too!
