Here's another quilt where I used red as a neutral.
Don't Set Sail On Someone Else's Star
72 x 90
(Snow kind of blew all over the quilt while I was taking photos that day.)
Some of the stars were September 2013 Block Lotto winnings. I made the rest of the blocks and decided on a layout.
Quilt was finished February 2014.
This was the first time I added words to a quilt. I thought the African proverb "Don't set sail on someone else's star" was a good one for a high school graduate so put the quilt in the hope chest for a graduation gift for a grandchild.

I LOVE EVERYTHING about this quilt!!!
Such a treat, Cathy. Love the stars, the varied block sizes, the proverb, and the REDS. You are the busiest quilter I know.
There's nothing about this that I don't like!
Wow! I love this one....you are fearless when adding color...beautiful!
Love the quilt and the wonderful title!!
This is fabulous, thrilling really.
I love bold color, I know not everyone does.
I'm starting to get warmed up to the 'red is neutral' challenge. At first I
thought it meant red should be low key, not noticeable.
But that is not the case with this quilt!
Thanks for clearing that up for me, Cathy.
