Blue Blocks from Wedding Dress Blue

Cutting has turned into sewing as I get started on the blue quilt.

Considering that this blog is Wedding Dress BLUE and that cobalt blue is my favorite color, I have made very few blue quilts.

But, blue is the favorite color of both the bride and groom, Yes, this one is for yet ANOTHER 2020 wedding. Amazing! With all the hard things this year has brought, there is much joy also.

Based on THIS pattern, with a modified border. You can see another version HERE.

Cutting For A New Project from Wedding Dress Blue

As we ease into Fall and school, my sewing slows down, but I am cutting for a new project.

Often, I am more of a cut-as-I-go quilter, but this time I tried cutting the entire quilt at once. It will be interesting to see if it makes a difference in the finished project. I hope to be assembling blocks soon.

What about you? Do you cut everything before you start? Cut as you go? Cut a whole bunch and see what happens? Just wondering…

The Winter Blues Blog Hop from Quilted Delights

Welcome to day two of the Winter Blues Blog Hop hosted by Carla of Creatin in the Sticks. For the next few days you can fight off those winter blues by hopping from blog to blog viewing some fantastic blue creations.

Today I am showing off my dutchman's puzzle quilt top done in blues and white.

For the flying geese in each block I used leftover 2.5 inch strips from an older Island Batik strip set and I used solid white Island Batik fabric for the background.

Leftover strips are perfect for making flying geese and this little ...

Sparkle Jane Finish: Blue Bargello from Wedding Dress Blue

Sparkle Jane has waited a long time for this finish.

She started the quilt about six years ago (age 13). The piecing went well, but then it was time for quilting. She started hand quilting it, got about half way and decided that she didn’t like the way it looked.

And TORE IT ALL OUT. Painful!

And then put the quilt away.

But now it was time. The quilting looks a lot like water over stones. Which is perfect for the pattern. Finish size is 82″ x 63″.
