There is something wonderful about the crispness of a red and white quilt. I started this last winter using the Quick Curve Ruler.I would like to use it during the Christmas holiday so I decided I better get going. I am calling it Peppermint Patty.
I made 81 blocks and thought that would be enough, because they are rectangular I decided to make it a bit longer.
So I have to make 9 more blocks. I am glad I made it scrappy so I don't have to worry about running out.
In keeping with my red and white theme today, I found these (I think French) towels with the initial "M" on it! I could not pass them up. I also got 2 others that are very similar and may use them as a background like it did for this little gem.
I also found this cool tea towel that I will be giving to my SIL Jan for Christmas. She lives in Houston and loves everything Mexican! All my linens are soaking in a bucket of Restoration.
I hope those of you living on the East Coast are enjoying this beautiful fall day!

LOVE your Peppermint Patty~ It reminds me of those paper chains we made as kids out of construction paper to trim our Christmas tree!
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful day here too, a bit on the cool side but lovely. I love the red and white Christmas quilt. I know you can get it finished in time the cuddle under it when the snow flies...

ReplyDeleteI love your red and white quilt. It's so fresh and crisp. I made one years ago and its still one of my favourites. What a cool tea towel! I hope your SIL loves it. What a perfect gift! Tea towels are so interesting. I have a growing collection of them and they feature anything and everything. They are so much fun! I am not far from the East Coast of Australia, in New South Wales, enjoying a beautiful spring day!
ReplyDeleteRed and white has such a sharp clean look! The name is perfect. Love what you did with the other tea towel as well.
ReplyDeletePeppermint Patty will be perfect for the holidays. The soft curves of the block makes you think if the spirals of a candy cane. Love your linen finds. The tea towel will make a great gift.
ReplyDeleteThe red and white looks fabulous Kelly!
