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!

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

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