When I saw the picture and the name Rita, I knew it had to be Red Pepper quilts. She’s amazing, as usual!
These are beautiful. What a fun month this has been.
Forgot to write this, since you all are so great at putting together this type of showcasing of projects and inspiration, I would love to see one done with all new or fairly unknown designers and their patterns. I don’t know how they would be found though.
I want these on my couch.

I really love these!!! Even with a 1/4 seam guide foot my seams aren’t this straight – I mean wow!
So pretty! I rarely use solid fabrics as the focal point because I think it would be too plain, but these pillows are beautiful. And I love the fun backing fabrics.
I think I may have to make these– they would be adorable in pinks for my daughter’s room.

I still cant quilt. Maybe this will be an easy project for me.
The quilted lines really compliment the patchwork. Beautiful!

I love Rita’s work! Her quilts are to die for and she photographs quilts and fabric so beautifully. She also has a lovely blog.

Those pillows are gorgeous. Just about the time I think I’ll try one, you go and mention zippers and ruin it for me. I can still look and dream, though.
Lovely colors.
Love, love, love the colors on these pillows.
Gorgeous! Why have I never thought to use white in between patches?! Oh yeah… because nothing in my house of little ones stays white
Nevertheless, something to keep in mind. Simply beautiful.

Wow, Rita, I wish my first attempts looked this great! I love the way you picked up the colors from the squares on one side, to the floral on the opposite side. That is so nice, and the colors are so full of spring time! Thanks for sharing with all of us!
