I found the perfect backing fabric on our Saturday day trip to get apples. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to get the backing, batting, and top pin-basted together in anticipation of quilting it next week.
I'm going to do something pretty simple quilting-wise... probably straight, veritical lines. I'm really liking that look these days and think it might look great with this quilt.
Oh Oh! I just noticed that the upper right hand corner the last 2 blocks in the 2nd row from the top are upside down! Guess I'll have to fix that right away. Glad I saw it before I got it all quilted.
I also started playing around with leftover block parts, since I originally was going to start a "Red Center." Then, I saw Julia's quilt and decided I really like the "Chevron" version.
I haven't decided which fabrics to use yet, but it will be scrappy for sure! Probably a little bit of everything.
Take care,

OMG! It's fantastic! I'm so jealous. I'm still replacing blocks that were "wrong". In spite of careful placement, so I thought, I had to do a bit of rearranging. LOve, love, love yours.
The arrangement from red to yellow-orange is so striking...like exploding fruit. I agree with Sally :)
I'm jealous too!
That's absolutely stunning Terri I adore this quilt and the colours you have used, along with the black and whites are simply divine. xo
really lovely quilt....it looks great in those reds, pinks and oranges...I might have one or two of those fabrics in my cupboard....now you have given me another great idea ;)
it is beautiful!! Your quilting plan sounds good too. That is how I planned to do my red and gray one too.
These blocks will make a great chevron quilt too.
Glad you caught the mistake before quilting. It's always good to look at photos to catch problems.
It is absolutely gorgeous! Even if you hadn't caught the mistake it would have still been beautiful.
Oh these colours are beautiful Terri and the way you have set it is super.
it's looking great, Terri -- I love those bright oranges! (I ordered the book a few days ago... too much eye-candy on the blogs to pass this one up!)
Yep, fabulous! Layout and colors are great!
Too much fun! I saw the quilt along last week and wanted to play and then I too jumped on the bandwagon and couldn't get off! I love how bright and cheerful your is and fantastic background fabrics!
This looks very striking. I love it!
