Description:
Big Red is named not only for the striking red fabrics that Cathy used throughout, but also for her home state of Indiana, where "Go Big Red" is a rallying cry to support their football team. It is a very Modern quilt for her, and features the bright reds and greens that she loves, which also are a nod to her love of Christmas. Cathy painted the background squares yellow, and included some truly incredible quilting designs.
