A red and white quilt.

The red and white quilt request has been made, so today it will get started. A few years back after our eldest and his wife received a new quilt for their wedding day.  A while later our youngest son asked if he can also have a new quilt.  He knows it will take a few years to make, so at the time I asked what colours he would like?
 Red and white. Colours which my stash was sorely lacking. Since then a collection of these fabrics was started. A pattern was chosen, it will be changed in parts to suit his nature and also to make it unique and special in its own way. 
The center medallion will be started some time today. 
His existing quilt is showing its age and wear, so the time has come for it to becoming a reality.  Today will be a busy one in the kitchen as well. A chocolate cake needs to be baked and a special dinner needs cooking. Will be ironing the fabrics and prepping the pieces for the center.
The baby blanket needs two more inches before the border can be knitted. The winter coat is stitched with a satin floss to sparkle, not the easiest thread to stitch with. It requires some patience and perseverance.
