Hello Quilting Friends!!!
This week I've been working on HSTs piecing them using Cotton & Steels' Spectrum Reds.
Very seldom have I ever used any collection exclusively. I think this is a first. I have some fun projects in mind and these reds just work together so well.
Then there's Alice.
I've been reading Gwen Marston's book, 'Liberated Medallion Quilts', and I got enthused about the idea of using a pattern or 'recipe' to make several smallish quilts with different color ways and not all exactly alike but similar. You'll be able to tell they're related. What fun!
So Alice is the first in a series. I've used some fabric from Cotton & Steel, their Wonderland Collection, so the name Alice. (No I'm not being paid to talk about their fabric or use it). Who knows maybe I'll piece them all together into a big quilt.
And that is my latest adventure in the land of Red is a Neutral.
Happy Quilting!
(The weather finally cleared I think I have spring fever.)

I love the Alice quilt. It has a lot of whimsy in it. Those red fabrics look like they were fun to play with. Look forward to seeing the other colorways.
I love ALice #1. Can't wait to see where this goes!
It will be very interesting to follow this idea and see how it evolves.
That inner border with the black and white inset - yum. I like the way you and Kaja add alternate fabrics when a strip runs out. And of course, your colors are so attractive. Great job.
A few years ago we put together an "Alice in Wonderland" skit for Beta. What fun! Your Alice quilt brought me back there immediately. I love it!
Wait, I should have said that since I sew, I designed and made the costumes--on the cheap. :) It really was fun!
Janie, I;m so late with comments at the moment, but I have to tell you that I love your Alice quilt!
