Red-n-Black

I joined a birthday block swap at Ohio Quilters (http://www.ohioquilters.com/ ) in 2007. We send a focus fabric and pattern request to each swapper in our group. I sent out a Kona Black square and requested "red herrings" blocks be made for me using this pattern: http://www.quilterscache.com/R/RedHerringsBlock.html

I thought this would be a great way to get a quilt and not have to do all that paper-piecing myself! Sellecting reds with my black was a way to get a quilt for a graduation gift for Mic. Her school colors for high school are red and black.

My friend, Sheryl from Parkersburg Sewing & Quilting (http://www.sewwithsheryl.com/) quilted it for me using a metallic gold thread for me. Yesterday I got the binding done and now have one less thing to finish before May 25th!

Maybe Mic won't like it and I can keep it for myself????
