Last year, Kevin the Quilter hosted a mystery quilt project. He called it Sapphire Stars, and it was fun to participate with others in creating a quilt.
His quilt featured blue, but I went with my favorite color--RED! I don't think I ever really understood the concept of light red, so my quilt doesn't sparkle like Kevin's, but I like it. Please pardon the bad pictures--I was battling both the flu and the wind!
Many thanks to Kevin for the great project.

Red is my favorite color, too. Yes, I don't think red has lights, mediums and darks like most other colors do. Your quilt turned out nice. I still need to finish mine.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cheryl. Thanks, too, for visiting!
ReplyDeleteWell, "light"red would have been pink, dark red can be burgundy: actually the contrast worked very well between the star centers and their legs. I like how your version came out. Thanks for sharing despise being ill. Take good care of your health!
ReplyDeleteI was trying to stay red. I could do light, medium, and dark pink--so I consider it a color on its own (if that makes any sense). The closest I can come to the concept of light red was the idea of a faded red fabric, but I didn't have any. Bright and dark red were easy, though.
