The quilts and display were fabulous! Amazing that one woman owns them all.
I would make a different color and white quilt. Red is not my thing. I am inspired by all of the delightful quilts I saw in the display. Humbling. :)

I made a red/white quilt. It was just made from sampler blocks from a quilt site I belonged to. It turned out pretty nice. Not all the fabric was true red, but that was okay for me. I will try to post a pic to this message & show what it looked like.

Maybe one day I will do a very traditional red and white strippy quilt...

After pondering what colours to use in my newphew's wedding quilt, the red and white finally clicked. He married a girl from China last fall, and they are moving back to Canada this fall. Apparently red is a very important colour in China, meaning good luck and prosperity, so, yes, the NY show was a great inspiration for me. I'm thinking a double or triple irish chain.

I did a red and white bear paw. However I made it just before christmas and had no idea of the r/w show. I just know I wanted to do a r/w quilt I saw at our LQS.. I am going to quilt it soon and will post a photo when its done.

The quilt show was a wonder to see! I loved it very much . . . .but, it did not inspire me to make one. I loved seeing them but I have so many projects in my head already that I did not add a red and white one!
