Red for a child's quilt?
#31
MY DIL wanted the quilt called "Transportation Quilt" & wanted red sashing & a red back. This was for my first grandchild which was a girl) Not what I had pictured for a baby, let alone red but it was fine.

Thomas the Red Engine? Why not!! Check with him first. Maybe he'll just want the caboose in red.
My sister commissioned me to sew her 12 yr old hockey playing daughters grad from grade 7 dress a few years ago - she is a very particular girl so I had to enlist her help with designing it. The first draft was an elongated hockey sweater. We progressed to a jewel neck, capped sleeve ankle length with a belt to be tied in the back in a strong water wash blue - with large seams and long hem so be let out and down if we wanted to wear it again, and she did - The success - because she made most of the choices. What a delight handling the large pattern pieces of that gorgeous cotton!!
