Well as suggested, I have laid out the red blocks to get a random pattern. It really works, I took a few photos to see if they looked satisfactory.
So, I have marked the rows, and since the white will be the contrasting colour, it gives me an idea of the quilt's finished effect.
Of course, I have enough red squares left over to do another quilt...god, I have such a hard time counting what a pattern says.
Oh well. One thing that I did decide is that the Christmas blocks I had cut that I will not use them and will make some stockings or something with them. I could make a skirt for the tree, but I really don't have red as my accent with the tree.
I hope I can find some red and white polka dot fabric to line it. I think that would be great.
The day started out as a winter wonderland with snow very heavy and it has now turned to rain and it's again a dark day. Oh how I await sunshine....

Hi Nanci, Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. I thought I'd come over and check your blog out also. I will bookmark your blog so I can view your eye candy from time to time. I love the red blocks, your quilt is going to be gorgeous. I've been collecting red fabrics for years and I could make a couple of these myself. LOL I think I saw this quilt in a quilt magazine last month or prior in blue and white fabrics. Is this where you got the pattern? What size blocks are those?
