Am I Blue?

An easy quilt is just what I needed to finish out this crazy year.

Medium blue fabrics with white and black accents and a touch of aqua make this one shine. To keep the rail fence blocks from being boring, I featured two smaller rectangles in each center section. I used EQ8 for layout and color placement.

Am I Blue? is 48” square. I quilted diagonally with dark blue thread in a serpentine stitch. The blue and white dot backing and striped binding finish it off perfectly.



Am I Blue?

So, my final count for 2020 is 52 quilt projects. It's been a great year for sewing! This week I'll straighten up my space, then sort and inventory fabric.  I got new dies and fabric for Christmas, so I'll organize my storage shelves too. A reworked design wall is currently under construction.


I love starting the new year with a clean slate and a fresh list of ideas.

Dies used:
Blue Wren 6047 Rectangles 2” x 6” and 2” x 3”
Accuquilt 55017 2½” Strip
