Looking through my photos from the 2010 IQA Long Beach Quilt Festival I discovered that most of the quilts that caught my eye happened to be red. So here’s a selection of red quilts straight from Long Beach to you!

Seven Steps To…..
by Lora Libigs Colby

Each of the double-sided leaves were first stitched around the outside edge, then sewn down to the quilt through the center vein, giving the quilt a wonderful touch of dimension.

Sunny Side Up
by Timna Tarr

This quilt was inspired by an 1840s quilt. I love the lively color palette and the attention to detail in the binding.

Rooted Series VII: Aquifer
by Kristin La Flamme

This quilt has a deeper meaning about home and roots, but it’s also just plain fun to look at with all the hand-painted details.

I Pray
by Harumi Iida

With some careful planning and piecing, a Log Cabin block becomes a Shinto shrine. Very artistic, and anything but ordinary!

Thanks for joining me on my virtual quilt show tour of red quilts. Have you ever made a red quilt? Please share a link, I’d love to see it!
