red work embroidery
 

those of you that do hand red work embroidery or even by machine how do you all incorporate them into a quilt do you just use red and white fabrics will scrappy work since they will all be squares with the embroidery how do you sew them and arrange them? I did a google but only came up with red and white quilts.. hope some of you can post pictures give me an idea.............thanks

I used red and white fabrics in alternating blocks. It's your quilt, you can do whatever you want!

I found this upcoming Block of the month - A Patchwork Year - designed by Kathy Schmitz: http://store.quiltingbythebay.com/st...&Item_ID=14780

The blocks that set of the redwork are really cool.

Cheers, K

My cheap embroidery machine only has a 4 in design but it worked for 6 in blocks.
Made a cute blue and white quilt for a baby boy. Did 9 patch for alternate blocks.
Got my designs for cute bears from Designs by JUJU.
My camera refuses to recognize my computer so no pictures.

Hey quilt n nan ... That is adorable!

I have set so many one color embroidery quilts and you can design some real original designs if you get creative with a print that has the color of your embroidery plus a companion color. Like red and aqua, or blue and yellow. It frees you up to have more than just a mono-tone quilt.

I have posted a few here if you want to search my posts for inspiration maybe?
