Here's a quilt I recently finished for my Sister-in-law. She asked for a quilt with red and with flowers so the beautiful red and white floral border was my starting point. I only had 1/2 yard of it, but thankfully I had a bunch of fun red and white fat quarters that matched the red in the border fabric - yay! I decided on a pretty basic pattern and bought some solid red fabric for the sashing and binding. The Quilting I planned on an overall quilting design but added a little twist to make it interesting. Here's the basic plan drawn on my plexiglass: I divided the quilt into diagonal sections and did a different motif in each section. The circle quilting in the sashing made it easy to stop and start each section as I rolled the quilt on the longarm. I used chalk to divide the border into matching diagonal sections. I got brave and used solid white for the backing! The diagonally quilted motifs show up much better on the back. Add a label and ready for gifting!
