Red Chevron
 

These are nothing special, but thought I'd post them today. I've had some red fabric for a couple of years and finally decided that it was use it or sell it. Found some perfect white/red/pink/ fabric to match it with for a quilt. The outcome was a chevron quilt about 64" x 64". Turned out better than I thought it would so it's one I'll keep for myself for the time being....maybe someone will come along who wants it. Used some scraps to try a Granny Square and will turn it into a pillow or a wall hanging for a craft show this fall.[ATTACH=CONFIG]611394[/ATTACH]

Pretty quilts! The granny square is really gorgeous.

very pretty! I love chevron quilts.

they certainly are special! nicely done

Quilt and beautiful, I especially love the pillow/wallhanging!!!

I think they both made up very nice. I love your red & white fabrics.

Both turned out beautifully.

Both are very pretty!

Oh that's beautiful! It's such a very pretty quilt & if I were you, I would keep it for myself.

Wow! Really nice! I'd keep them too! The chevron one is a beauty! I love it!!

Beautiful. I love red and white quilts. You've done a marvelous job with these.:thumbup:

Nothing special to you is beautiful to me!!!!!! :)

Beautiful red fabric...beautiful works!

Love both designs you've chosen but am considering--I, too, have some red yardage pretty much like yours that has been in my stash too long. Am I figuring correctly, that your 1/2 sq triangles are finished at 4"? That's pretty small but your finished product is fantastic.

illinois....I started with 5" blocks and drew the line down the middle on the backside. Sewed 1/2" on either side of that line. Before joining all the squares together the blocks measured 4 1/2", so yes, they finished off at 4 ". It gave me more seams than I wanted to press flat. Sometimes sacrifices are made. LOL

Thank you for the confirmation. I've been looking for something that I can use that red fabric and this really caught my eye. Am ready for the next project and this might be just the one I'm looking to use. Off to see how much yardage is in that piece. Thanks again! (Did you mean 1/4" either side of that line?)

Love your quilt. Very nicely done!!!

Love your red and white chevron! Great fabrics; this is a beautiful quilt!

Are your chevrons made with half square triangles? .........They are so pretty and if I came along you wouldn't have to keep it long-lol

Beautiful quilts--always love anything done in red.

illinois....yes I meant 1/4".

They are both very pretty! I would love either one.

Sorry to disagree with you. Both quilts are very special

Both are very nice. Especially love the granny square one.

Nice quilts.

They are both beautiful! Sometimes, simple is best. If you're waiting for someone to say they'd like the larger quilt - look no further! LOL

These are lovely! The fabrics in the granny square are really sweet. Nice job!
