What does the Alphabet and Red and White have in common?

Nothing but the two projects I have been working on this week.

I am still plugging away on my ABC Quilts!

I have always wanted to make a red and white quilt.  No other colors just red and white so I have been saving fabrics for this quilt.

I cut 200 5 X 5 squares. Does not look like much does it?

This is the top getting basted.  I have tried so many ways of basting but for me the floor still works the best. I use the grand-children's puzzles as weights and roll the quilt as I pin.

There is a lovely lady on Instagram that does beautiful big stitch quilting. I asked her what needles she used and she uses

Big Stitch Needles

I also highly recommend them, they can glide through the top, batting and backing and do not bend.

It has been hard for me to get use to big stitching because I try to take such tiny stitches when I quilt.

  I will say that I am enjoying the process.

Thank you for your visit. 

Have a wonderful weekend and I hope you get to do something you love.

See you next week.
