Red and White fabric collections
 

try Keepsake quilting. Their service is amazing though they can be higher on prices. Their quality is also great. I've never been disappointed with anything I've bought from them. And, I have been buying from them since at least the early 90s!

Have you considered using reds that are all different? It makes for an interesting effect!

Moda has a red and white line, but they are not cheap.

Red and white batiks are easier and beautiful!

I have found that even the red/whites are not always the same tint/vaue/shade they do work together as long as they are not too far off the pure color.

Having different reds enhances the look. The different hues will give a more finished look. I did a red and white quilt with different hues and it was gorgeous. I just didn't add too many of the orange-y hues.

It is similar to how just a tad bit of yellow can enhance the overal effect of some scrappy quilts .... you just don't want to be overwhelmed by the yellow.

Moda has a new line called Renaissance Redwork. I love it!

There is a lovely collection called Rendezvous. The reds are clear and bright, the collection has various fabrics in red, white and grey

Yes, reds ~ hues/shade/value ~ can make us pull our hair (or any color-way that 'focus' on). We have this conversation with ourselves, "it matches", "no way to orange", "well almost", "I think is will work". I am a red fan (you should see how many red tops I have, haha) and have trouble with red/oranges and lean towards blue-reds. But quilting has helped open my eyes ~ they are all in the same family and should go together.

I did a google image search for 'red quilts', I think it help to have a visual. :) take a look;

Blank Quilting has a nice collection of reds and whites - 13 fabircs in all. You can see them in this thread: Perhaps this is bad of me but I got a really great bunch of fabric today and I had to (don't think I got quite the whole name!). I don't have a Ben Franklin so I ordered mine online from oldcountrystore.com.

We have a couple of lovely collections of red and white fabrics by Fabric Freedom of London. Very high quality goods.

Thanks ladies for all your help I really appreciate it!!:thumbup:

www.oldcountrystorefabrics.com has a lot of them and sorts it for you by color, they have great prices and fast delivery

how about solid reds paired with whites?

Jump over to the "Take 2" thread and check out the free BOM's

One of my favorite online sources is thousandsofbolts.com. Their home page lets you click on fabrics according to color groups. If you select a fabric to look at the details, one of the options on the page is "View all (#) fabrics in this Collection," so for instance, if you looked at this fabric:
http://www.thousandsofbolts.com/inde...92&ParentCat=9
you could be sure that the other reds in that particular collection would be compatible.
And Thousands of Bolts has a special $3.95 flat rate shipping until 2/24!
One other vendor I remembered seeing a pretty reds collection is Erica's:

Good luck in your search.

Daffy

I just saw some Beautiful Red & Whites in Clotilde it was called Rework Renaissance worth a try

Try www.equilter.com They have a feature that lets you select one color in any print and their site will find all the other fabrics- solids, batiks, prints- that have that same color match in it. Their screen is exceptionally good about showing the true colors of fabrics.

RED, is one of the hardest colors to match. So if you make one Please buy all your fabric at one time. Plus extra. I made a king size Black,red and white. Ran out of red. Had to do boarder in black. Not happy.

I have a friend who made a Yellow Brick Road with all shades/tones/values of reds and it came out beautiful!!! She then appliqued some yellow flowers on it. I think as long as it says "red" you'll be fine.

fabric.com lets you put your selections on a design wall and it has really helped me with coordinating fabrics.
They are very reasonable and give great service too.
BTW,...I can't wait to see your red and white. Eventually I am going to make one too!;)

There's a pattern of reds called Prairie Paisley 11 lots of reds and patterns to choose from go to ericas and old country store fabrics they each have some that are differant, this is what i am going to work with for a log cabin quilt. Good Luck

Looking at these quilts was so inspiring...now I want to make a red and white quilt!

I just got my Clotilde catalog. They have a line called Redwork Renaissance. They have charm packs, jelly rolls and fat quarters. It might be the Moda line Dorian was talking about.

At e-quilter.com the girls that work there will find fabrics that work together for you.They do a great job!!!

clotilde.com has Redwork Renaissance.

Did you try fabric.com. Great Service - lots of choices.

Go to www.equilter.com. I have ordered from them many times, use the feature for selecting colors (click in the fabric to change the color)
You can refine your search by entering in red and white......

Just find some reds and some other stuff that goes with them and try this..........

Just use some reds and choose some other stuff that goes with them and try this.............

Jo Morton's line "Variety" was inspired by the Red-White quilt symposium in New York.....

just remember the GOLDEN rule...WASH your red fabrics before you use them!

WOW, your quilt is G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S.~thanks for sharing!!

I did read the thread and will make sure to pick up the solution that sets the color and PRE WASH!!!!
Thanks for the reminder!!

I heard that all reds go together.

This may not be helpful, but it took me a good year scouting here and there for white-on-red fabrics and red-on-white fabrics for my next queen-size bed quilt (Massachusetts Stars/Split Stars alternating with Log Cabins, which can be purchased online at e-patterns, http://www.e-patternscentral.com/det...l?prod_id=7481). At first I was really "matchy-matchy" but found that I liked the subtle differences with variations in the reds and whites. I leaned toward the darker (rather than pinker or orange-y) reds, and stayed away from "blatent" tans, varying the whites and creams. It's actually softer on the eyes.

Unless you have seen a line of fabrics in person, the shades of reds are tough to discern. I'm afraid your surest best to get the colors you want is to do it in person if you've not seen the fabric before.
