My inspiration for this quilt came from a friend. She asked if I ever went to Vicki’s blog. I went and checked it out and I was hooked. I had already downloaded all the designs, but did not have a clue what I was going to do with them.
I chose to do my quilt in Red, White and Black, as she did. Its finished size is 81 by 89 inches. I wanted it a little wider than pattern suggested, so I added an extra border on the sides only, to give me added width. Used lots of red and whites and black and whites. I have a large hoop for my embroidery machine, so was able to combine designs before stitching them. I learned a lot working in Embird software. What fun! Being able to change things around. There were no additional embellishments used. I believe they would have gotten lost in the fabrics. Designs used were, in order of use, 27,33,46,38,32,13,37,42,31,5,28,24,11,23,47.
I used a large stippling on the printed fabrics all through the quilt. Then I went through again going around the embroidered design with a much smaller stippling. I am very pleased with the end results……………….Roberta S
