Default five yard quilt - red/black/cream

At last November's Houston Quilt Festival a friend and I picked up 3 sets of these 5 one-yard packs with the intention of making retirement quilts. We work at the same school and knew of two for-sure retirees and one "maybe". As it turned out we should have picked up 4, but ... the last one is a dear friend and we're doing hers in a different set of fabrics. Our school colors are red and white, but we thought these darker colors were more friendly. When you bought the 5 one-yard bundles you got a set of 4 patterns with them. We made each quilt from a different pattern. I'll get pics of hers when she'd done so you can see 3 quilts from the same fabrics, but different patterns.

The backing was 108" wide - love that! I quilted mine with fairly small diamonds - diagonals.
