Did you see the red and white quilt exhibit in New York City last year? I did not and I am still very sad about that.
I have one of the greatest jobs ever: I get to travel to different quilt shops and quilt shows all over North America. My travel season is from March until November, so I am packing my bags. Every year I tell myself I am going to make a memory quilt with fabric from each place I visit and each year I neglect to get organized and actually do it.
Not so this year! I am making a red and white quilt with fabric from each place I visit. I have already visited Sew Inspired in Simsbury, CT. If you have not yet been to their store, you must plan a trip soon!
I bought a lot of things at the shop, but I bought a fat quarter of red fabric and a fat quarter of white fabric. I made these two blocks:
Each block is labeled with the shop name and location:
I always remember to buy fabric wherever I go, but I hope I remember to specifically buy red and white fabrics at each shop and show so I have a great 2012 memory quilt!

I am sad that I didn't see the red and white exhibit too!
Your quilt idea is terrific!
The Red and White show was terrific, sorry you missed it. Your red and white memory quilt is a great idea! Looking forward to seeing it come together this year. happy travels!
What a great idea! I love red and white but I'm not starting anything new until... er, well, I guess I am starting something new soon but beyond that I'm not starting anything new for a while. I need to finish a few things, ya think? LOL
A red and white quilt (one fabric only for each color) is our quilt guild's challenge for the year. I was wondering if the challenge was not having a red/pink quilt when you finished...
Your blocks are lovely, and I love the idea of including where the fabric was purchased.
