RSC26 -- A Finish with RED

Tall Fly was finished during my planning period at school yesterday.  I won a set of these blocks in the Block Lotto several years ago.  

It measures 42.5" x 46".  I used a gingham fabric for the binding.  I really like the stripe effect that it appears.  I have tons of gingham in my scraps.  I see more gingham bindings in my future.  I longarm quilted it using the Circle Lord Baptist Fan Giant Template board.

I was also busy this week rounding up other red blocks that needed to be put to good use.  I made these two flimsies:

I'm not quite sure how to arrange these six basket blocks yet.  They are an odd size. I don't wish to make more of them to make a bigger quilt because I made these in 2011 or so.  I didn't not have the grasp of the importance of the 1/4" seam allowance back then.  But I would like to use them.  I'm thinking I will arrange them so that the sashing will be 3.5" and make stars for the cornerstones.  You can see the blocks need trimmed.  Stay tuned.

I'm linking up with Angela at SoScrappy for the RSC26.

Tall Fly is my 13th finish this quarter.
