Even More Blue And White.
Posted on | April 13, 2024 | 8 Comments
I have used up nearly all the leftovers from the last few blue quilts and am now reaching into my stash. Not that it is making a dent, but it is good to use it.
I wasn’t expecting to have this quilt ready so soon, as my LAQ was busy with show preparations, but she called me after 10 days to say it was ready. Time to get binding. Here’s the back as well.
If I go in closer you can see the quilting design.
The blocks in this quilt are great stash busters. I have seen this layout in a lot of quilts but this one was inspired by SewCanShe. The pieces are cut 2in by 31/2in.
The sections go together to make one block. Each sectioned is turned to make the pattern work.
By doing this the blue parts come together to create the large sections and the white parts surround it..
As you can see, I have had a bit of fun with the fabrics – bears, mushrooms, text, and much more.
The swirl pattern was quilted in a soft blue.
And the binding was a royal blue, maybe shadowplay.
So, another blue quilt completed.
Other than that, there is plenty to do. The Australasian Quilt Convention is on, and we also have to get organised for some time away.
I hope your weekend is going well, too.
Cheers, Karen

Another pretty finish! Love blue and white, and the design too.
Super cute, Karen!!! I heard someone call this the potato chip quilt block. Must make with all my many scraps!!!

Blue and white is always a lovely combo. You have a beautiful finish xx
Delightful Karen! Interesting to see how the blocks work together, very clever!
Beautiful quilt, such a simple design but it looks quite complex.
Karen your quilt is a stunner and thank you for showing how that block is made ….. I think I will start a collection of scraps for it…
I assume you are going to AQC – have fun…

These types of patterns are always fun to make, watching them come together block by block! The swirly quilting design is perfect with it. Did you visit the AQC? I didn’t bother this year. I tend to go every second year, so 2025 for me.
