It's all about Heart and this lady will shower you with her quilt and pillow! and pssst 2 guests today...

Let's add some colour and comfort in red!

Red is such a passionate colour and I admit it's one of my favourites, especially when I use it in varying shades to make something scrappy! Back in November, here on Sew We Quilt, I gave a tutorial to make scrappy bento box blocks. (In case you missed it, click here).

Now what can you make with a single block? How about a pillow? I 've put together a tutorial for you to make your own, including instructions for inserting a hidden zipper closure on the back and also for binding the finished pillow. {Click here}.

Now maybe you will discover that you're like me and can't stop with making one block. ;o) If that's the case, then maybe you'll want to turn (30) blocks into a quilt (60" x 72"... that is the perfect size for cuddling under with your sweetheart)! It will make up in no time, once you have your blocks ready.

Think of all the fun it will be to use so many different red fabrics together.

Plus, any extra blocks can be used to make a pretty pieced backing!

I hope I've inspired you to grab some colourful fabrics and start sewing!

I'm ever so happy to be here and want to express my thanks. True to her word, the gracious Madame Samm invited me back and once again I want to thank her for letting me share with you.

PS....In keeping with this month's theme, I recently completed another pillow in red... this one includes a heart. You can read all about it on Sew Me Something Good. Happy sewing!
