But then I'm a big 'red' nut..never too much IMHO! LOL In fact, I saw over at Aunt Polly's blog that she had a red accent wall in her new house. I JUST had my walls painted but am thinking of doing the same thing since I love red so much.

Love your pincushion prize. That one has been on my to do list forever. Seeing yours makes me want to get started, but Mercerie is top on my to do list right now....still haven't started! Your Nabby's Dowery looks great! You are fast :-) The red sashing is bold, but I agree with what you are saying about a softer color disappearing. I like it the way it is, but I do like bold color. It's got to be what you are comfortable with. Giving it a while before you decide is smart. Maybe you would feel better about it if you did the binding in the same red?Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17620337187303791229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925319966873918312.post-47084526410134407092013-09-20T08:26:47.055-10:002013-09-20T08:26:47.055-10:00Wow you were quick to get this together - it looks...Wow you were quick to get this together - it looks great!!

But my eyes we...Yes, the red sashing may be strong. But my eyes were really drawn to all of the different patterns in the pieced squares to see how each one was different from the next. Maybe that's just because I'm a quilter. And I think the red is a good sashing color for this quilt. Be happy with it. It's beautiful!n Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12819621105581980024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925319966873918312.post-7161190805258089062013-09-20T05:54:55.781-10:002013-09-20T05:54:55.781-10:00Funny...my hubby had his PT test on Wednesday too!...Funny...my hubby had his PT test on Wednesday too! He also has to do the walking test because of a hip issue. Getting old(er) stinks! LOL I love your quilt...and the red sashing looks great! Maybe if you use a red binding too, it will help tie it all together? I've used that red fabric in a couple of projects too! :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07112729673101477426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925319966873918312.post-89095840417126050072013-09-20T05:10:11.058-10:002013-09-20T05:10:11.058-10:00I love the sashing.

MY husband is also retired. I cam in early 1970's when women weren't cabable of running so I didn't have to. I managed to get out of the PT Test my entire career, never on reserve duty when they conducted it and I wasn't going out of my way to find it. Also, when I was on active duty, all I had to do was situps, etc. And the last 7 months I was pregant and got out of it all together. So lazy. At any rate, I'm a kindrid spirit. Do you every do anything with Quilts of Valor. Also, I love the red sashing. I am a decorator afterall, 29 years experience. tealeafquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03214543099275757978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925319966873918312.post-68842281369404737892013-09-20T05:08:45.640-10:002013-09-20T05:08:45.640-10:00Looks beautiful to me!
