| Shattered Chambray |
I
love this soft blue quilt! I finished it last month as a gift for my
husband. Broken dishes blocks in chambray and blue prints are laid
out in diagonal rows and bordered with chambray.
Backing
was cut from an upcycled 100% cotton sheet that I found at Goodwill
for 99 cents (no stains or rips, perfect condition). I used blue
thread in a serpentine stitch across the blocks in both directions.
At 56” square, this one is just right for a nap in the recliner.
I
read a lot when I'm not sewing. Recently I finished How To
Stop Time, by Matt Haig. This quote from that novel seems
appropriate to consider for the new year.
“You
have to choose to live. Everything is going to be all right. Or, if
not, everything is going to be, so let's not worry.”
Here's
to a year of optimism, of choosing to live life as it comes.
