Big Blue
 
2 Attachment(s)
A couple of months ago my husband was looking at some of my quilting magazines and brought me a picture of a quilt and said "I'd sure like this beautiful blue quilt on my bed!". I looked at the picture and the fabric was pink! If you hadn't guessed, he's color blind! So, I worked for a whole month getting jsut the right blues. He did the quilting on our longarm and I finished up the binding Friday. It's the first time I've used wool. It sure does show the quilting and he claims it's warmer! He wanted it wider than the pattern, so I just added fabric to the sides for the drop. I am still not sure I like this one, but he's happy with it. As with most of my stuff, I hate it when its done, the look at it a month later and love it!

Great quilt and I understand what you say about not liking recently completed projects. Funny how that happens.

It is really soothing.

Very pretty.

SuzzyQ 11-04-2013 01:23 PM

And where did you get the pattern? Lovely quilt - fresh and modern.

RedGarnet222 11-04-2013 01:58 PM

Wow! That is one huge quilt! I love the color blues you used. You did a great job on it as a team.

Very nice. I like all the fabrics you used. What a nice modern, adult quilt it is. It is nice to see a masculine quilt and it not be a hunting or fishing theme!:D ( not that those styles aren't nice too).
peace

I have that pattern !! That quilt had some HOT burning pink in it. I like the colors you chose. Much more soft and pleasant to look at !! Hope the hubby is tickle about having some input into this lovely quilt;s creation.

How nice that the two of you worked together and made a great quilt.

BrendaK 11-04-2013 04:13 PM

That is kool. Does it have a name? Is there a pattern available? I believe that my husband would like this layout. BrendaK

What a cool pink quilt....just kidding. It is nicely done and the quilting looks great. It usually takes me forever to bond with my finished projects. I usually question everything but the socks I make, I always like my socks :-)

tkee 11-05-2013 04:47 AM

I love the pattern, too. I can relate. Three of my four boys are color blind. They think pink is gray.

mjhaess 11-05-2013 04:56 AM

Very nice...I love blue....

quilting nurse 11-05-2013 05:26 AM

Wonderful quilt! Would love the name of the pattern.

cpcarolyn 11-05-2013 07:12 AM

Nice quilt.

MargeD 11-05-2013 08:18 AM

I think it's beautiful and perfect for a guy. Love it.

JanieH 11-05-2013 10:55 AM

Great quilt and I love its name!

QandE2010 11-05-2013 12:40 PM

Oh, it is so pretty. It looks awesome. Enjoy!

caspharm 11-05-2013 02:47 PM

Looks great!

IBQUILTIN 11-05-2013 03:20 PM

I love that quilt!!!!! Very masculine, but modern too. Great idea

solstice3 11-05-2013 03:44 PM

Nicely done

Retired Fire Chief 11-05-2013 04:43 PM

Very nice. I'm wondering, if he thought the pink one was blue, what color does he think this one is?

PolkaBabe 11-05-2013 07:27 PM

The more I look at this the more I like it. Thank you for sharing.

sniktasemaj 11-06-2013 08:07 AM

I like it and I am sure he does too. It grows on you.

LadyElisabeth 11-06-2013 08:38 AM

Very nice, it looks like a "guy quilt" but is pretty enough to be enjoyed by both of you

racerh 11-06-2013 09:17 AM

What is not to love - the graphic pattern, color and overall quilting - wonderful job!

Katie 11-08-2013 03:28 AM

I really like the quilt...great job
