I can almost hear you all saying "not another boring red & white block...please"....lol Well there is one at the end of this post, but first I want to show you the last quilt that I had quilted in November or December by my longarm quilting friend, Linda.
The quilting on this quilt took an ordinary Double Wedding Ring quilt (yes I used the cheater's stuff) to a beautiful quilt to throw on my table in the Spring. Here's a close-up of the quilting.
Linda did such a good job. Of course she always does. I'm not going to be able to get any quilts professionally quilted for a little while, which is going to push me out of my comfort zone and I'm going to quilt some of my tops myself. Come h-e-double hockey sticks or high water. I mean it. I always used to quilt my own tops so I know I can do it....hopefully.
It was also a great mail day with my favorite quilting magazine being delivered directly to my door.
I haven't looked through it yet, but I'm sure it's chock full of quilty inspiration!
Okay, okay here's the red & white NI block for today....I just couldn't not do one when I'm sooooo close to being done with them.
The last few I've done have been very easy, but I checked and I've got a few difficult blocks coming up. I just need to keep the mojo.
Well I'm off to do some laundry and look at the sunshine....WooHoo....later!

The double wedding ring is gorgeous! And I like seeing all the red & white blocks!
whoa - you scared me for a minute there - i dunno what i would do if i didn't see some red and white on your post - i'd probably go into some kind of withdrawal
tell Allie i will be thinking good thoughts for her tomorrow!
Boy, that quilting is perfect for the quilt! And I love your red and white blocks. Keep it up!
Wow, Linda did a beautiful job!
I went looking for Quiltmania here this week. Copies will arrive here at the end of the month.
Will you be hand quilting or by machine?
Another perfect NI block1:)
A beautiful quilt and sunshine? You lucky girl.
Very good job. It is easy make the nice projects if you have amount of good fabrics over there....
What do you mean you used the cheater stuff? I've had one started for quite some time but can't seem to get back to it. And keep the NI blocks coming!
I love all your red and white blocks.
Have fun looking thru your new magazine. Great quilting too on you quilt. I have not ever seen such a cool cheater cloth.
