Whore's Red

When my daughter was ten months old we moved from Fairbanks to a small village in rural Alaska.  I had a lot of time on my hands to spend with the munchkin, and to quilt.  During this period I completed many quilts.  It wasn't difficult to do because there weren't any other distractions.  The first year in the village we had our own housing in the village.  The second year, we roomed with another teacher, Naomi, who was also a quilter.  

But you are probably wondering about the whore's red post title.  My older sister, Kim, who lives in Florida wanted a quilt to go with her new bedroom decor....and she wanted whore's red.  I have to tell you, when you live in a village, it is difficult to pull together a large number of red fabrics.  It looks a little Valentine's to me, but she was very happy.

I chose a simple rails pattern for this one, and I tied the quilt instead of quilting on my little machine since this was a large quilt.  The colors were perfect for her bedroom.  The picture is a little blurry, because it is a scan of the original photo.
