While assembling this quilt on a ladies’ retreat, my original intentions were redirected from making small placemats. The fabrics spoke for themselves in becoming a baby quilt for our new granddaughter! The contrasting geometrics stimulate Lucy’s visual development. A red fabric “zinger” adds a pop of interest, a technique I learned from a master black-and-white quilt designer. I also experimented with the border by “framing” the quilt using red and black corners.
