blue beaded curtain

Here are my Rainbow Scrap Challenge chandelier blocks (from Stitchin' Therapy blog) in dark blues.
Pretty! There's just something about blue... most people's favorite color.
as usual I tried to find pretty prints in the scrap bin, although I also try to find a scrap near the size I need to cut too.
I love a mix of tone, shade and pattern although these read almost the same
After making 14 (as I have a LOT of blue scraps) I pulled previous month's colors out and played a bit... here is an analogous color scheme with green, blue and aqua
now wouldn't that make a nice bed quilt?

Love the blues. It would also make a lovely wall hanging.

I love that design, and your blocks look gorgeous together. I'm thinking of doing something similar for my rainbow scrap challenge next year.

A lovely combination. I finished my dark blue chandelier blocks at the quilt retreat this weekend, except for one that needs some adjustment. Enjoying blue skies and sunshine today.

A beautiful design in beautiful colors. It looks great!

Very pretty. I've made red and white, and green and white quilts but never blue and white. It's on my list to do but I haven't found enough blues that I like.

Miaismine said...

OK. So this is weird. I stayed up reading last night and a similar block (The Farmer's Wife 1930's Sampler Quilt, "Aunt", pg. 97) caught my eye. Using a few different colors certainly changes the look! I love your quilt and the name! It's absolutely love. The green gives it an oceany feel. Thank you so much for sharing!

This is gorgeous. I have a lot of scraps and should do something.

Still Thinking

Happy Monday

Ooh, those blues and greens look beautiful against the white solid! Like Mediterranean waters and bright white sandy beaches...

Jayne said...

Love the design and the colors are dreamy!

Susan said...

Looking good! Great choice of blues

I have this pattern, and now I think I'll need to do it scrappy. Your version looks so much more interesting than the planned ones. It feels like a beaded curtain.
