Ignore the blocks to the right of RUBY, they're just some scrappy log cabins I've made to fill in the lines. Today I'm going to stitch the rows together, with some navy blue sashing between, and make a narrow navy border. After that I'm planning some flying geese for the second border to use up the last of my red scraps.
I did start on something else last week, using red scraps, but it didn't work out, so I used it to practice my free motion couching and played with my new couching foot. Parts of it will probably end up on the back of the words quilt.

Good to find you too. We're in Derbyshire now but moved up from Woking 3 years ago. I love your red words - they remind me of another Lynne!
That looks difficult...the words will make this a conversational quilt for sure.
What fun!
I am so impressed with how fast you have jumped in to the letters. So many fun ways to say red.
Great words Amanda!!!! Are they really as easy as you make them appear?
That is an interesting idea to use the reds to make color words. And the filler blocks will work well with them.
Wow, these look great! Your words look like so much fun to make
This is great. Did you actually sew each letter down? That looks like a TON of work. Wow!
What a great idea - they look terrific!
What a great idea! Love the words you picked to sew and they turned out terrific!
Love the words in red. Hope you are having fun with the couching foot. I'd like to see what you do with it.
I love the words, in red!! I keep peeking at Tonya's blog, are they difficult to make? I need to look up exactly what couching is.
What a nice idea, that will be a red quilt for sure.

That's really clever piecing you used to create these red words.
