Some years ago an incredible display of red and white quilts was held in the Armory Building in New York. The occasion? A birthday gift, from a husband to a wife. She had collected over 800 red and white quilts, and her birthday wish was to see them all at one time. Above is a view of all the quilts, gathered from many years of collecting.
Lest you think they were all only traditional quilts, this one (above) was included–a modern-looking quilt, using stripes and squares to good effect.
Another one tha looks difficult, until you realize the difference a small block makes at the corner of a square (red block on white square, and visa-versa).
Quilt Maker: Elizabeth Eastmond
Quilt Title: Red, White and Blue
Quilt Statement: Some years ago, I participated in a group where we each designed a block, with no size restriction. I challenged myself to put the blocks together in a non-traditional way, making use of smaller sawtooth stars, strips of triangles, and odd-shaped rectangles, and using a red/white toile.
Quilt Maker: Helen Matter
Quilt Title: Freedom!
Quilt Size: 14 1/2″ X 35″
Quilt Details: Gudrun Erla (GEQuiltDesigns) Lil’ Kim table runner. I also have had this charm pack for a long time, and I wanted to make something fun for the 4th of July. Gudrun’s design was easy, and it was fun to put together!
Quilt (Top) Maker: Candy Scott
Quilt Details: Candy writes that this is quilt for a friend’s newest grandson, and the backing will be LA Dodgers fabric if she has enough left over from face masks.
