Beautiful red blocks, and all kinds of fun prints! I can't say that I recognized any, but I enjoyed looking. So glad to hear your mom has a new place - that is peace of mind for you and your sister, too!
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty red prints! Good to hear that you found a new place for your mom, and that it's close to both of you! Yay!
ReplyDeleteNancy I love these reds!! I think I only saw one of my fabrics in there. Glad your Mom's new place is close to you both! Hope all goes smoothly this weekend!!
ReplyDeletethose are great red blocks - I don't know if I have any, but I have seen the one with the sunflowers on it haha!! so glad you got your mom settled - and how nice that its not to far from either of you!
ReplyDeleteLove your red blocks!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't have many of those reds in my stash....a few similar including the berries...but not many. The news about your Mom is great. Praying it all goes well as she moves to a new place.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are beautiful. I enjoyed seeing all the Japanese prints. I recognized only one print from my stash of several years ago. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe reds are spectacular ! Quilts are so sweet
ReplyDeleteBest yet - new place for your mom close to her daughters !
I am glad to hear you found a nice, suitable home for your Mom. Hope the move gues well too! xo
ReplyDeleteWow! Your collection of red fabric is amazing. I got a chuckle out of seeing how varied it was. There were strawberries, paper cranes and a very US patriotic bit of a flag in the mix.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a lot of red fabrics, but I love the mix in your blocks where the overall effect still reads as red.
ReplyDeleteI found 3 red fabrics that I have from the many in your blocks. I hope your Mom makes a quick adjustment to her new residence. Good that she is so close to both you and your sister.
ReplyDeleteI didn't spot any reds that match my stash... does that mean I need to go shopping? Beautiful blocks and fabrics. So happy to hear you found a place close to both of you. Wishing you a successful move this weekend.
ReplyDeleteNot any Japanese fabrics in my stash, but I do love the origami swans! I only found one that is like mine. The red with yellow sunflowers and plaid squares!
ReplyDeleteGlad you could find the perfect place for your mom!
Hi Nancy, nope - we don't have the same fabric supplier :-) I love your scraps. Thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks and all the best with your Mom. It's great that you are both so close!
ReplyDeletea beautiful assortment of reds,turning them into postage stamp blocks is a great choice
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Nancy! Honestly though, as I looked through the prints - not one of them looks familiar - all I could think of is "use a Color Grabber when you wash this!" :-) Can you guess that I experienced an issue with bleeding red in a quilt? I don't often use red in my quilts, so I don't have much in the way of a red stash. But I like seeing what you've made. Funnily, seeing your first picture, I thought you had a genius way of making a star-shaped block using squares! You're so talented.
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks, and red fabrics! I may have one in common, the solid red ;)) Fun prints, I love the nails and screws ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's very good news for your Mom, being close to you both will be so much easier to take care of her.
Thank you for sharing, and linking up!
For some reason I haven't made my red blocks this month. I did make enough crumb blocks to at least cut out one block but that is as far as it got. I'll catch up soon. I recognized two of the fabrics but I'm pretty sure mine were in a different colorway. I'm not sure why but I do enjoy looking at others' fabric to see if I have some. I've missed a lot of your posts recently -- must go back and see what you have been up to.
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks with such an awesome variety of shades of red. I only saw one fabric that looked familiar. But I definitely saw some that made me wish I had lots of it. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love all the different fabrics, Nancy! They really make these postage stamp blocks shine! Thanks for sharing with us on Monday Musings.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, red is my favourite colour though so I might be a bit bias!
