    Default Red. what would you do?

    My sister was at my house yesterday and I was showing her some of my projects. Just as a matter of conversation I asked her what her favorite color is. The answer? RED! It was very quick with nothing else. I didn't want to ask questions as I have wanted to surprise her with a quilt for sometime but didn't had any real idea as to color. We live 150 miles apart and get to see each other, well,I think it has been five years.

    How would you proceed. Pick a red fabric and use blender type fabrics with it? Do red with blacks or white or both? Pick a fabric that has a lot of colors in it but the red is dominate and get coordinate fabrics? Other ideas?

    HELP!
    Be blessed,
    Sandy

    God has a plan and it is a good plan.

    I would do a red and white quilt. they are great.


    God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    The stash to make a quilt to help me cope,
    A quilt to give to comfort those I love in times of hurt, fear and uncertainty.
    And the courage to keep on sewing when life itself seems held together by a single thread of hope.

    The striking simplicity of a red and white quilt is hard to beat. I like the hunters star mentioned above, or a double Irish chain is nice too.

    I love the look of the red and white quilts. Jenny has several videos that come to mind. Jacobs ladder, houndstooth, love notes/you've got mail.

    I agree with Annika. Red and white is a sure thing and a safe thing.

    These are both what came to my mind, too!

    Ohhhh, what about Old Maid Puzzle? Very simple, too, made with 1/2 & 1/4 square triangles.
