Taryn of Repro Quilt Lover is hosting a
Red and White Quilt Exhibit in honor of the
show coming up in New York. Here are a couple that I've made. Red is my favorite color. If anyone is hosting a Red and
Brown Quilt Exhibit, I've got a few entries for that too.

Woven Blocks, 60 inches/152.4 cm, 1997?
Quilted by Maggi Honeyman |
This is one started earlier in my quilting career. Maggi quilted it with red thread so it has kind of a redwork look to it. Once I started making quilts faster than I could hand quilt them -- it took me a couple years to hand quilt my first quilt -- I started going to a long-arm quilter so the top pile wouldn't give me guilt pangs every time I started a new one.

| Split Ohio Stars, 92.5 inches/234.95 cm square, 2007? |
I need to do a better job labeling my quilts (and/or putting dates on patterns and class handouts) so I know when I made them or at least started them. Time flies by so fast now I think it's been only a year and it's been three or four, and the top is still waiting to be quilted. (That's code for sent to Maggi!)
I'm excited about the New York exhibit because I'm supposed to be going. Hotel reserved and flight reservations made. But I had big plans to go to the V&A last year for that exhibit and
Eyjafjallajökull ruined those so we'll see. If Mother Nature foils me again, I will have to rewatch this
video from Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims' blog as consolation.
