Love the blue and I'm envisioning it in Bubble Gum pink or 30's yellow too; or maybe the old fashioned lavender that my mother often chose for her aprons and "every day" blouses. Maybe you should name this quilt "Down Memory Lane"
Thanks, Jan. It's a REALLY big quilt. LOL! This one is "officially" king size, but you're seeing it on a queen size bed. I like quilts that go-to-the-floor, so mine typically do, even if I have to add borders to make them do it. It is NOT a difficult quilt to make, so long as you pay attention. And it would be gorgeous done in some of the old fashioned 30s colors and fabrics you and I seem to be drawn to. In this PARTICULAR quilt, it just happened that I wanted that PARTICULAR fabric off my shelves and out of my sewing room, so it got used. As I told a quilting budding of mine, just because I'm not a fan of modern colors and fabrics, doesn't mean someone else won't love it! As long as I do my best to do good work on it, it will get appreciated somewhere.
