The red plaid on the white background is very effective; I think it makes the quilt look very sophisticated.

Very clever idea to strip piece the chimneys. I know exactly what you mean about getting those angled seams to match up. Even with paper piecing they are difficult to do. Celtic Solstice has a bunch of such matching points in the chevron blocks. I was pinning and pinning, sewing and unsewing. Finally I just slapped them together and they turned out better than when I fussed with them. Lots of "good enough" with those, too!Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04066177625064170284noreply@blogger.com
