Most of you have seen this before but I thought I'd show it again for the Red and White Quilt Show over at SewCalGal.
I made this back in July 2012.
Red hasn't always been one of my favorite colors but I had seen so many red quilts that looked awesome so I just had to make one myself. And I am so glad I did.
I found this pattern in a jelly roll book done in blue.
So I went digging in my scraps for all the red I could find.
The white fabric has little red dots on it - I bought that about 25 years ago to make my girls an outfit.
I use red thread and white thread in the quilting.
This was the 1st time I had ever done that.
If you have a red and white quilt go to SewCalGal and enter.
I can't wait to see all the quilts.

What a lovely quilt, and the quilting is just awesome.
Amazing quilting! I love all the reds - very effective with that pattern. Terrific quilt!
Great Quilt and Quilting! I love Feathers! I'm looking forward to seeing more Red and White Quilts this year thanks to SEW CAL GAL.
I like the cute pin dots. The quilting really shows off your quilt to its best.
Love the quilting on this one. Spectacular!
I am not much of a red person either but that is one pretty quilt.
Very beautiful !
