Redwork Quilts

This project has been hanging around in my studio for some time. I found the completed redwork squares at thrift. The last piece of the project, a printed patchwork fabric piece, came from a recent estate sale. I may keep it as this manageable size wall hanging and quilt it myself. 

This is the second time I have utilized my magical stash of flower precuts. My first project was a fabric flower wreath complete with button centers. 

This image was saved from the Sierra Quilt Guild's show this past fall. Snowflake by Carol Garnett. Another nice example of a redwork quilt.
