I was showing my husband the Twisted Happy Blocks quilt the other day and he said that it was nice, but it needed something, "like more red around the outside". I told him that I intended to put a red binding on it, but he insisted that it needed more. My husband doesn't usually say much about the quilts that I make, so I figured I better take his advice or I'll never hear more than "that's nice" about one of my quilts again!

It Needs More Red

He was right! That is nice!
I can't imagine my husband having an opinion of one of my quilts. That's too funny. It looks good with the reds.
I must agree with Tim. What a lively quilt.
I think he was right! It looks good! So now that you've added the red, are you going to do a black binding?
Such a cheerful quilt. It looks great!
The red border makes the whole thing pop, and I especially like that it's pieced with a variety of reds. Very cool!
Your husband has a good eye for quilts! Love the red border.. So now what? a black and white zebra binding??
He's got a good eye! The red works!
Your husband has a good eye for these things! Lovely!
Oh yes, I like it...your hubby has a good eye for colors. What will you do for the binding? I will wait patiently for the final showing...well I will try :>)!!
He had a good idea. You can hardly go wrong with more RED! :-}
Sometimes they never cease to surprise us do they Susan? Looks fabulous.

I think he was right! I like it better with more red too!
Having seen the 'before' photo down below, I think he's right. The extra red sashing sets of the rest.
