I wanted to post some closed up shots of the finished Redwork quilt. I am very happy with how this turned out! This block used the Zig-Zag border from the Ultimate Borders collection to create this background.

LINK TO YOUTUBE VIDEO A full year ago I came up with the idea of creating a tool set that would be ergonomically friendly to those of us who suffer from dexterity issues with our hands.
