Starting this project I have been introduced to some wonderful people including Kate Smith who has lent me this fantastic red and green strippy quilt. I enjoyed studying the patterns and particularly liked the cord and tassels .  Red and Green strippy 

Plait design

Wave with diamonds 

Cord and tassels

I have used the colours of the quilt to compliment the original and to create an coherent collection. 
My next challenge is to study the pink and white strippy quilts from The Quilters Guild Collection.
