Red And Aqua





Here is my red and aqua disappearing nine patch exchange blocks all made into a very vintage looking quilt. Thanks Jane for letting me play along.

With Passion,
Carrie P.

    I would never have tried to put red and aqua together in a quilt, but gosh, you pulled it off quite fabulously! It's very pretty, and the quilting is also special with those tulips. This is a beautiful quilt.

    Pretty! I love the quilting design too. Congratulations on your finish. I've only been involved in one block exchange and they're still sitting in a bin waiting to be turned into a quilt.

    It turned out wonderfully, Carrie.

    You know I put mine away and kind of forgot about it. Seeing yours reminded me that I must make the time to get at mine and piece it together.

    Great job!

    Another great quilt. I have to say, these colors are growing on me. I wouldn't have thought it, but I'm loving these colors together.
