Dust Off a Quilt Book Blog Hop, My Day



The Dust off a Quilt Book Blog Hop starts today, hosted by the lovely Bea @Beaquilter.   
The schedule is below.  Many thanks to Bea for running this hop again, I always enjoy it.

For my project, I looked through my quilt books.  I was also looking at patterns in mind to have a dual purpose, for our Red and White Quilt Show in May.  I took one of my primitive Red Wagon books Fall Into Winter.



The quilt I decided to make was called Vic's Red Thistle.  I knew I didn't have time to hand applique all four blocks before this blog hop/or the quilt show, so I made one block.  I decided to put on Bonnie Hunter's braided border the instructions for which are in her her free patterns site.

I wasn't able to quilt it due to guild activities, but this is the top.  



Be sure and visit the other bloggers and see what they have come up with.

    Red and white are one of my favorite color combinations! The braided borders make a great frame for the applique, too. This project is perfect for the blog hop and your guild show, Karrin!
