Not sure why photographing fabric is so tricky, but this is the true colour of the three cream neutrals I brought in a gorgeous shop in Nhill at a bargain price. I will be going back HERE to shop again!
And this is the true colour of the red I brought in Bordertown. 
The neutrals are for my stash and the red is for the scrappy red and purple bargello quilt, which at least I have added a neutral border to, since taking this photo. I had to exhaust all possibilities hunting for the perfect border fabric that didn't exist to work out that a solid was the best idea...well that and the wisdom of my quilting buddies who convinced me to go with a solid!
Finally a bit more action taking place on the dresdens. More single units made, stitched into pairs, then fours....
Nearly got the plates all made up...then to decide on a background fabric....hmmm, more fabric shopping required?!
Red is the Rainbow Scrappy Challenge colour for July. I haven't made a single red block for RSC and we are nearly halfway through the month.....but school holidays finish Monday ; )
Happy quilting Sue.

While you may not have made a RSC block, it looks like you have gotten plenty of red done this month. The Dresden's are going to be lovely. Isn't it terrible when you MUST shop to finish a project. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI know how long regular dresden take... but pieced ones - yikes. You have made a lot of red progress so far this month.
ReplyDeleteIm loving these posts about red fabric. Its one of my favourite colours , and your projects are so pretty!
ReplyDeletelove all the reds...............the quilt is beautiful.............and I love dresdans............must make some up.............
ReplyDeleteYou may not have made any RSC blocks, but that RED Scrappy Trips quilt is AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteAlways love red and white together. Your dresden will look amazing.
ReplyDeleteHow great is it to find a shop that sells what you want. Those are wonderful neutrals. Great job withe bargello quilt. A solid border sounds like a good match. Do you have many more dresdens to make?
ReplyDeleteThat bargello quilt is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnd those dresdens! I can't wait to see what you do with those.
Love the reds you shared today - RSC projects or not . . .
ReplyDeleteLove those red and whites. A solid red border for the bargello sounds like the best way to frame the quilt. Happy sewing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful neutrals. You can never have too many of those. The bargello is lovely. Great going on the red projects.
