Thanks for all the wonderful birthday wishes for my Mum – she was delighted to read so many well wishes from all the corners of the world!ย
I have finally found some time this week to make a start on the Joseph’s Coat Quilt A Long that the ever so talented Kellie from Don’t Look Now is hosting. The hardest part was deciding on a colour scheme for the project. Following consultation with Sarah, I settled on a monochromatic red and white palette. I have raided my stash of its red fabric and have also purchased a few others to add to it (good excuse for a shopping trip!) as I want to have at least 30 different fabrics in the quilt.
I am using a slightly different technique on mine – instead of using the Stitch and Wash product, I am using my iron and spray on starch to press the seam allowances under. As I have started a couple of weeks late, I have some catching up to do. 1.5 blocks down – 47 more to go! Wish me luck…
A special thanks to Some Day Crafts for featuring our mini notebook tutorial and to Anne Kaz for featuring our chocolate boxes.

Oh Lisa,

I’m a bit of a red obsessive, but those fabrics have a gorgeous bit of punch!
this looks like a challenge!! but it will be beautiful, I love the reds!
RED! It’s awesome! I’m so enjoying seeing what colors everyone is doing. I’m also very tempted to join in … maybe after the holidays and I’ll just be VERY far behind!
Wow, what a beautiful block! I’ve never seen that one before. Your red and white fabric choices work so well with this design!
Oh yes…loving the red! Looks like a tricky block, but will be stunning all pieced together. Will be watching for progress pics ๐
This is gonna be a gorgeous quilt! I am loving the red and white palette. I wish I had some extra time, my daughter Isabella’s favorite color is red and she would love this. I am gonna have to tuck away the idea for a later time : D
You can never go wrong w/red and white! They are classics and it looks like you have given yours an updated look. Plus, you know how much I love RED!
I am also a fan of the starch method. Works much better for me.
Your fabrics are so nice. A very nice quilt for x-mas-days.
