Never too much red!!!!! Just use color catchers, just in case!!

I don't think there is too much red, but you always need another color to tone it down. There is a lot of creamy colors in there also, so why not add a touch of black. Should be a striking quilt.

A rail fence would look great with these colors. I am doing one with black, white and red at present.
Look on Missouri Star Quilt Tutorials for more ideas. |
The jelly roll is beautiful. But, you might check out Hancock's of Paducah. (a company in Ky.) They have sales on pre-cuts all the time, you might be able to find something you like more for less money. I do a jelly roll pattern called Cake Walk.This one is from Piece of the Heart. It only uses 20 jelly roll strips, so you can make 2 quilt with one jelly roll. You need 2 yards for the corner piece, plus, 1/2 yard for the binding. I do not do the jelly roll border. This way you can make what I call "companion quilts". They make great wedding gift, I give both to the couple,,,they are coordinated because they came from the same jellyroll. I make the corner triangles different colors too.

I love the red so I don't think it is too much red. I think it would look great in a log cabin block.

i think the fabric is gorgeous and no there is not too much red. I really like the D4P and it would look good with those.. but that pattern won't work so well with jelly rolls. I have some jelly rolls and I am thinking about trying this pattern.[ATTACH=CONFIG]525424[/ATTACH]

To me you can never have too much red! Go for it! Especially if DIL likes red! Have fun!
