My project for 2025 will be the Tree of Life quilt in red/white.
Here is some inspiration.
Here is my Electric Quilt block.
24 Half Square triangles in each block.
Projects like this that can be very boring (2 color quilts!) take some time. My thought is to make 2 blocks a month. I still haven't decided if I will use shirtings/muslin or different reds.
What I'm leaning towards is muslin and a variety of reds, but using the same red throughout the block.
If you have a tedious quilt you want to make I find breaking it up into manageable sections each month makes it so much more doable.
Anybody else? Anybody want to join in?
Happy New Year!!
will be stunning i am sure...happy new year to you!
ReplyDeleteI love the red-white-blue tree of life. So beautiful. The quilting on the two-blue-fabrics Tree of Life is stunning. I'm seriously considering joining in. I've always loved the pattern.
ReplyDeleteHard to do, beautiful result. Did you count the total HSTs or too discouraging? I know better than to jump in but oh, I wish!
ReplyDeleteI'm very tempted to join in!
ReplyDeleteI have a length of red and length of white, and have looked and looked, unable to decide. I do like the trees, it will be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis will be beautiful. I am hoping to do a two color quilt this year too.
ReplyDeleteI think you have found the right approach. I don't use solids too often but am a sucker for red and white quilts. All of your samples are tempting....
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for red and white too!
DeleteI am considering this but with scraps. I like your approach of only 24 HST's per block. It's all in the mindset. Right?
ReplyDeleteI don't have the discipline to join in but will really love watching your progress. It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBe sure your reds are colorfast first. Ask me how I know!! Two color quilts are great.
ReplyDeleteI"ve had that problem even when I thought they were all washed and colorfast!
DeleteOh, I may have to join you on this one! This has been a bucket list quilt for a long time!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt to set as a goal for the new year! Wishing you a creative, happy and healthy 2025!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteOh, isn't that marvelous? I am so fond of red and white quilts, and this one is gorgeous! I'd love to join this one.
