What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I don’t mind doing applique, but I think I would be tempted to use an embroidery machine to do the applique on this one! Using my machine that would mean the finished blocks would only make a knee rug instead of a king size quilt.

Perhaps my challenge for the year ahead should be to sit down at the embroidery machine and practice making small blocks, then learning to reposition the fabric to do large blocks. (Note that I didn’t say what year ahead.) In the meantime I should practice turning the whole block into an embroidered coaster ...

Red and white together looks stunning, but not something I would like in my bedroom. My favourite design today is the first one.

However, a lot of sporting fans barrack for teams who wear red and white, so there may be a lot of people who would love a red and white quilt on their bed.
