A Red and White Quilt Challenge

Back in March, I showed a quilt I had designed in EQ7 named Moon Phase, for the Design It! Red and White Quilt Challenge. I had every intention of making Moon Phase for Phase 3: Make It. I just couldn't motivate myself to get started.

Even though I still like what I designed, my heart just wasn't in it.
I think maybe it's a little too "modern" for my tastes.

Last week, I realized that the "Make It" deadline was coming up in 12 days.
 It's now or never, as they say.
 Moon Phase is was out of the question, but there was a block I had come across recently that I thought would be fun:

The block is named Domino.
 I figured out how to make it with all strip sets so it went together super fast!
I used two of my favorite fabrics from my stash:
Buggy Barn dots and a Moda Muslin Mates check.

I made twenty blocks last Friday night....

and played with them on Saturday.
Here the blocks are set all the same direction.

I think I like this a little better....

yeeesss--this is the one!

Well, now you know what I did the rest of the week!
I finished the quilting Wednesday and attached the binding on Thursday.
 

Even though I love the traditional look of the quilting,
 I will never do crosshatching on the long arm again--too tedious!!

I call her Hidden Hearts--can you see them?

Quilted with Aurifil 50 Wt. #2310
Mountain Mist Blue Ribbon All Cotton batting
I can't wait to wash her up and see her all crinkled up and cozy!
