Shades of Blue
Sew It Show It Challenge.
I'm happy to kick things off with my
Shades of Blue Sampler Quilt.
Skill builders like sampler quilts are so fun
and
I created this one just to play with some quilt block designs.
became
31 quilt blocks and a 54" x 72" throw.
31 quilt blocks and a 54" x 72" throw.
The plan was to offer the pattern now, but I'm planning a sew-along in the future for this one.
So, stay tuned for that.
In the meantime, it was so fun to take pictures in the snow...
and what better background for blues than white?
I invited a great group of Bloggers to
create something with shades of blue.
Here is the line up:
