It is an Anna Williams Inspired creation.
Influenced by this quilt

I have felt a strong urge to work in red as I move away from Christmas and move toward Valentines Day.

Process: As I work on other projects I keep my small white scraps in one bag and the small red in another. If I have two triangles in front of me I sew them together. If I have a bunch of white itty bitty scraps I will sew them together. I will sew the bits together in a strip from 1 1/2” to 2” and anywhere in between.
I played with these small pieces today.
I am using a scissors to cut these strips. I often need to give my right arm a rest from using a rotary cutter.
I came across this wonderful blue fabric this morning and it is just perfect for this project.
I attach the blue strip at a 45 degree angle to the red strips string pieced together. I then make certain the strip of red and white fabrics are at least 2” longer than the blue and I sew that on. I then add the next blue and then the strips of red. Once it is all together I trim it up.
Once I have multiple blocks made I will figure out the layout and what filler strips I will need.
I love designing a quilt as I make progress. It continually evolves as the different fabrics and little pieces speak to me.

Or do an internet search. It will be worth your while.
Thank you for stopping by and leave a comment if you have been working in red.
