It is time to join in the Bloggers' Quilt Festival over at Amy's!
This is my second time joining in with sew many talented quilters! If you are new to my blog, welcome! I hope you enjoy yourself and come back again! If you have been here before, thanks for coming again! I love my readers!
Today, I wanted to share a quilt I made about 2 1/2 years ago. I made this quilt once before for a gift and fell in love with it. It went on my 'to do' list for some time. Then I made this one for myself! It is called Red Herringbone.
It is made with several different coordinating homespun striped fabrics. The diamonds and triangles are made with a lame which gives it a shimmer. I first made this quilt in a class using homespun and flannels in browns and greens for a very masculine quilt. The technique was fun to do and easy.
Making this quilt did bring on a challenge working with fabrics that are not as stable as quilter's cotton. I am pleased with the results. Do you like it?
Now hop over to Amy's to check out all the other talented quilters! I'm linking up here...
