My 12 Blues Quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
I finally finished a quilt that I have been working on for quite a while. I want to thank so many people on this board that gave me advice on this. It's the biggest quilt I've made--full size. It's my own design (also made the pillow cases)--with some advice from y'all. I used 12 different shades of blue in the quilt—I call it "Rhapsody in 12 Blues." It wasn't easy finding all the blues, but I eventually did.
Thanks for looking!

Nicely done. I love the corner treatment. Finding 12 shades that flow that nicely must have been hard to find. Good for you!!!!

That is so pretty. I love the blue shades.

carol45 07-17-2012 05:51 AM

It was sewcrafty on this board that suggested the corners be in a "spray." That really made the design so much better--I had the piano keys just going straight. And she also suggested that I use paper piecing for the corners--I had never done that before, but it worked out so well!

cjackaitlin 07-17-2012 06:12 AM

Carol, your quilt is just beautiful. My favorite color too. Love the design, thanks for sharing.
