Bear Foot in a Rose Garden Top Complete

When Minnick & Simpson's Midwinter Reds came out, I immediately bought a stack of fat quarters.  At first I wanted to make Nantucket, but then I remembered a pattern called Bare Foot in a Rose Garden.  This pattern was designed by Elaine Skierka, one of the owners of Quilter's Corner in Sacramento, California.  I finished the top today.  It was a really fun project to make because there were a variety of blocks to make.  It went together easily.  I'm not sure yet if I will hand quilt it or have it quilted.  It is about 72" by 72", so it isn't too big to hand quilt.  I can't imagine an allover design, so if I have it machine quilted, I will have to have it custom quilted.  I sure wish my sister, who just got a long arm, would hurry and get awesomely proficient!
 
This isn't a great picture as the shades of red and cream just blend together.  I also think it will look much better when it's quilted because right now those large solid blocks are bothering me.
