Red Work

My Great-Aunt sent me this beautiful quilt to quilt for her. It has red work, and her stitches were all PERFECT! It was so beautiful.
In the corners of the red work blocks I did small feathers. In the large pieced triangles I did a larger version of the feather.

I did long, continuous feathers in the Irish Chain.

At the top and bottom of the quilt there were white rectangles that I did a large feather in.

I love the way it looks on the back of the quilt. She used a solid white, and the quilting shows up so well on the back.

I used the eggshell colored thread for this quilt.
