Blue Crossroads.

This is the last of the quilts made with the blue bundles purchased at the end of last year. I had to add in a little from my stash, but I managed to use up the last of the bundles. It is about 60 X 60 inches.
I must admit that I did not find this easy to make. I had a lot of hiccups trying to get each corner to match. Glad I didn’t want to make a larger one.
I stuck with it, and did a lot of unsewing.
I really like the fabrics and had a play with different combinations.
I kept the quilting basic. Straight lines alongside each seam and them a straight line through all the crosses.
The backing was a lovely blue line print on white.
The binding was a blue/green print.
So there it goes – the last of the special fabric bundles.
Since returning home I have been working on some different quilts. Three of them are easy square and rectangle combos. I needed that when we came back while my body was sorting out time zones. Nothing too taxing. Hopefully soon I will want to find something more challenging.
I hope you have a great weekend planned. I am catching up with quite a few family members. Can’t wait.
Cheers, Karen

Beautiful quilt, Karen!!! Your extra time and patience paid off! What a sweet back print, too! Did you bring any fabrics home with you from your recent trip? Quilters want to ask!
That worked out beautifully, well worth the perseverance.
That’s a lovely finish for your blue bundles. Such a striking result. I hope your body has caught up to Aussie time again xx
What a gorgeous quilt Karen! I love blue and green together! I’m wondering about the method of construction you used. Did you piece four different HSTs into a square and then add the sashing or did you slice a blue square on the diagonal and piece the sashing in between?
