We have been busy quilting girls! Astrid and I have completed our red, white, and blue quilts. They are both the same design. We each made our four-patch layouts with color differences. Mine has two whites, and one red, and one blue. Astrid made her four-patch squares with two blues and two reds. It makes for totally different color and design-look outcomes.
When I cut the pieces for my quilt, I made the squares a little larger than Astrid did hers. That has caused my quilt to be a little bigger than hers. I think they both look awesome. I particularly like the traditional sorts of fabrics that Astrid used. Mine are a little brighter for a more contemporary look. Be sure to try cutting out some squares and sewing them together; it may amaze you!
