A Bit of Blue - Project Quilting Challenge #15-2



This week's Project Quilting's challenge was "Sky Color" with the caveat that your quilt could have at the most the color sky blue. From my scrap bin, I chose several shade of orange to yellow and improv curved them all together. The mini quilt - 6" x 6.5" - came alive with the addition of pink thread and my walking foot.

My inspiration came from the beach sunrise photo - all yellows and oranges.


I decided to add a tiny bit of blue just because. And it could be my favorite part - the unexpected!

My quilt The Nest was my first project for this very fun challenge.

Have a wonderful day! Patty

  6. So pretty! Funnily, I didn't notice the blue bit at first, thinking you'd used a piece of blue painter's tape to stick-up the quilt for a picture! Ha, ha. I really like the pink thread for quilting.The size is pretty small. Do you have a plan for using it? Or hanging it?
