Not Blue, But Many Colours.
Posted on | April 19, 2024 | 10 Comments
Time to make a break from the blue quilts. This is one that had been started a while back, then was put aside. But I was able to get back to it and have a LAQ do the quilting for me. It gives the impression of being a Christmas quilt, although I didn’t plan it that way.
It is made from a fabric range by Jacquelynne Steves called Joy, Love, Peace, Noel. So I suppose it is a Christmas fabric. You need a close look to see how lovely the fabrics are.
I used a spot fabric for an inner border, and then a lovely floral for the outer.
The quilting design is swirls and holly berries. It shows up well on the red and green backgrounds.
Because I had bought quite a few fabrics from the range I decided to cobble a backing together and this is the result.
I used a lovely blue floral to finish off in the binding.
There we go. Another quilt done and dusted. And the best part is that I have finally caught up on all the projects that were put aside when I had both machines in for repair last year. That doesn’t mean there are no projects waiting. That would be silly! Of course there is a pile, but at least they are not from last year.
Cheers for now, Karen.

Cute fabrics, Karen! Sweet finish!!! I love the border and quilting, too!
I love it! What a delicious mix of colors and patterns, and how nice to be ready to work in THIS year. Hmmm, I wonder what that’s like! LOL
Hi Karen well done on your beautiful work ,I always enjoy my visits here seeing your latest creations
very pretty quilt and it does look very festive. love the pop of blue.
very clever matching up the diagonal fabrics on the back.
Its lovely quilt indeed. Always so nice to have another finish, isn’t it.
What a wonderful feeling to be all caught up with a waiting list of quilts! This one is a Northern Hemisphere Christmas quilt indeed- I can see holly and snowflakes. The swirly quilting is reminiscent of a snowstorm too.
It does look like a Christmas quilt. But would be fine anytime to keep the chill off.
