The Jewel Red
Glide 70187 Ruby is the red of the ruby gemstone — a vivid, rich, slightly blue-cool red with the precious quality of a fine jewel. It is positioned as the most opulent and precious red in the Glide family: not as warm as Cherry or Cardinal, not as muted as Sultry, but the specific vivid jewel-red of rubies. For jewel-tone quilts, luxury designs, and competition quilts where red should read as genuinely precious, Ruby is the definitive choice.
