WHAT'S BLACK, RED AND WHITE?
A stack of black and white fat quarters has been taunting me since last summer. I had planned on pairing it with some pink, but after using the pink in another project recently .... well, I didn't want anything to do with pink for a while!

I was inspired by Gundrun's Elvira Quilt, I didn't have the srtipology ruler they were using so I just decided to change it up a bit with some applique and embroidery. It doesn't really look like all the Elvira quilts, but that was my starting point.
I'm curious to see how the embroidery will hold up in the wash.
Handquilted .... during this Covid lockdown handquilting has definitely been a stress reliever.

Extra hexie flowers from another project ..... why not ??
The binding is some Tula Pink Fabric I found on sale at a store closing last summer. I've been waiting for a project this might work with. Love, Love LOVE me some TULA fabric!
Backed with a super soft pink minky to maximize the coziness factor !! Yes pink did sneak into this quilt after all :)
Yay, just enough "Je t'aime" material to piece a bit in.
