I have to say that I really like this quilt and it has found its home. These pictures are in guest bedroom and I have been wondering what quilt will live in this room permanently. I had this one in the back of my mind as a strong possibility -- especially when my husband requested that we paint this room red. Ummm, no. No red interior walls, thank you very much. We have a red house, my husband chose the color--it looks great, but I refuse to have red on interior walls. I told him I could compromise and decorate with red and chose the oyster wall color with this in mind. Anyone with great decorating skills have any ideas how I could add to this room with this quilt in mind? I still have to pick out the curtains too--(that is a long story as to why I don't have curtains in this room yet...)

It looks gorgeous. And your inset seams look fine to me. Any bobbly bits will be smoothed out in the quilting!
And I see you have a penchant for HUGE quilts. I like!!
Loving your work! Isn't this stunning fabric. I completely understand your attraction to it. And you've made a beautiful job of the quilt too. Very inspiring. As for decorating, its such a powerful statement on its own but that Canadian decorator, Sarah Richardson, who I love, says to use the fabric as a jumping off point. http://sarahrichardsondesign.com/portfolio/project/interior-design-show-2011/red-room
With that in mind, (congratulations on restraining your husband from painting the walls red - bless!) why not make a valance, trim a lampshade, trim the oyster curtains, make some throw pillows, trim some pillowcases and sheeting, and even consider upholstering a chair or even a headboard using the Rouenniere range? The turkey red from that range would make a great paint colour if you wanted to trim a chair or a side table or a mirror surround. x
Me again! Here's another link to Sarah's work, this time to a bedroom in which she incorporates a quilt.

I like it and yes you have made a lot of that pattern but I never tire of it. Your long arm will be booked before you get it.
I have to say I like red on interior walls...depends on the shade and flooring, etc. I do think with those beautiful floors it would be too much.
This quilt is fantastic. Can you remember where you bought the pattern and what it was called. I love it and it would look so great on my bed too. www.myfatquarter.blogspot.com
Beautiful quilt. I think I would choose something similar to that dark tan in the quilt for the curtains. Let the quilt be the star of the room. You could add small accents of the red other places such as a picture and knick-knacks.
I am also interested in what the pattern name is and if it's available! Your quilt is just amazing!! Beautiful.
Jeanette!! I've also been looking for this pattern!!
Can you tell me where to get it please!!??
