I recently got a request from a client for a quilt for a baby boy. Her only stipulation was that I feature the color red. Naturally, red would be one of the colors that doesn't come into play much in my fabric stash!
I remembered that I had a cute robot print leftover from a quilt I made last year and knew it would lend itself nicely to various red prints. I pulled together the ones I had but ended up buying a red fat quarter and 1.5 yards of a simple red print. It was on sale so I figured I'd better stock up!
Since most of my reds were remnants, I opted for the two rows of 5" squares and wider strips of everything else. It is a very simple design, but I think it lets the reds shine.
