Red Rose

From bolts to quilt top--all in an evening's work.  Just couldn't go to bed without having this done.  Way, way too pretty. 

Starting with the 5" strips makes for very quick work.  I will do the kits with 5" strips--love that cut.  Chop, chop--2 5" squares and 2 14" long rectangles.  Plus some quick 5" polka dot centers from a fat quarter.

To the machine, and the blocks come together in a flash. 

Clear the floor to lay them out, sew them up,and add the borders.  Aren't stripes the perfect first border?

And now the photo finish....

Red Rose Farm

They are here--this wonderful group of fabrics from Elizabeth Scott for P&B Fabrics.  I know just what I want to do with them--another RoseCard for Market of course.  Off to work--keep you posted.

Pacheco Pass Party

The Quilt Show with the Pacheco Pass Quilters in Los Banos was another great weekend.  Fabulous hospitality from the help with unloading and loading to a Saturday night barbeque.  RoseCards and bright fabrics were a hit in my booth.  Thank you all again.
