I look at this quilt as a visually comforting textile. Created from a variety of shades of blue with two accent blocks containing a darker blue stripe. Did this fabric have a special meaning so as to include it in her quilt? I say "her" because at that time almost all quilters would have been women. Isn't it nice that this has changed? 🙂

All piecing was executed by machine. The quilting, which is hand done, is not the very best. The quilting actually does not show. This quilt is all about visuals. The muted colors and the pattern result in a quilt that just makes me smile. 🙂

The blocks measure 5-1/2" X 10". Triangles in the blocks measure 7" x 7" x 10" and 4" x 4" x 5". The blue binding is 3/8" in width.

Now hand washed with organic products and ready to be sent for your approval...with free shipping 🙂
