What
a striking quilt this turned out to be! I knew it would be pretty
when I designed it in EQ8, but the completed project turned out
better than expected.
Large
rings in shades of cobalt blue and white have a modern look. Rhythm
& Blues is 48” square, with rounded corners on the 4”
borders. Backing is pieced in three sections using leftover fabric.
Quilting was done with medium blue thread in an allover scallop
stitch.
The
curves on this Blue Wren die sewed together perfectly...I didn't even
use pins! I just matched the notches and stitched a bit more slowly than
usual with the Acufeed HP 2 foot on my Janome.
This
design would look fabulous in any two or three color combination, or maybe even try it with multi-colored scraps. I'll be making this again. It's a happy quilt that makes you want to
tap your toes. Have a great week, y'all.
