An indigo quilt; unusual pattern.
This concentric honeycomb was quite inexpensive, but one fabric didn't hold up, so an entire round would need replacing. Great colors, though.
Indigo...sigh.
This tumbling blocks could be a beauty. The light machine quilting just detracts from the wonderful fabrics. Hopefully, someone will remove it and finish it - but not me, I have enough projects!
I've been working on a project that was started long ago from exchange hsts, and 4 patchs. I will share this when it gets further along. I've been sewing "parts" to make more blocks. Then, I can just work with the parts, and the blocks will sew up rather quickly.

  4. Love that first quilt as it has a fun and simple design that looks more complex.

  6. Beautiful quilts. Just wondering about the honeycomb quilt--is the row that needs replacing close enough to the edge that the quilt could just be cut down a little? Just curious. : )

  7. I'm drawn to those indigo fabrics, too. Ever since a friend sent some from Japan I've been thinking about a quilt...just need to find some here or order online. Do you know of a good source? Thanks! Heather

  8. So many of us are drawn to those old indigo prints. I love the quilt peeking out from under the indigo rail fence, red stars on an indigo background. Sweet.

  12. I LOVE that indigo and blue! I know red and blue is the popular thing, but blue is so calming, and one of my favorite colors.

    1. I don't know the name. It's unusual. It wouldn't be hard to draft.
