Blue Stars

I love this quilt. Blue makes some people sad but not me. I surround myself with it and I always feel better.
 
 
 
 
 
Can you see the Baptist Fan quilting design? It's an old fashioned favorite and was machine quilted by Dawn Larsen before my book Remembering Adelia came out. I bought myself a Baptist Fan stencil at a booth at a quilt show and I will try to use it to mark  a small quilt someday for hand quilting.
 
 
Look closely - these are half-square triangles arranged to look like LeMoyne Stars. A very easy pattern.
 
 
Thank goodness for blue and puppy love . . . .

  3. "Blue on blue....heartache on heartache...and I find I can't get over losing you" (love that Bobby Vinton) but blue never seemed sad to me, it is soft, comfy, and secure, just like your beautiful quilt.

  11. Blue is one of my very favorite colors. In fact, today I'll be hauling out my indigo-and-cream fabrics to work on my Dear Jane quilt!
