Sister's Choice Quilts

My interests are quilting, reading, cooking, family, decorating, and matters of style. I post regular quilting tutorials and book reviews of current fiction.

Something Blue

Fullsizeoutput_11c9

After all that red and green during the holidays, when January comes around I am definitely in the mood for a more mellow color palette.  Blue seems perfect for the chilly winter days we are having, so I made myself a new table topper.

I have a ton of various Primitive Gatherings "Snowman Gatherings" fabric left over from a project I started awhile back and never finished.  There are lots of navys, lighter blues, and light background prints.

For my little quilt, I made 3" finished square in a square blocks, which I trimmed to size with my Creative Grids Square on Square Trim Tool ruler.  The quilt measures 17" x 26".

My plan is to get this quilted myself this week and put it out and enjoy it!

  4. That is such a soothing choice of colors. Coincidentally, I’m making a runner for a gift at quilt retreat later this week using blues & blue-greens. Great minds, huh?! Onward into 2019!

  10. Very nice! And a great start to the new year. Wishing you all best!
    I wanted to comment on something from an earlier post, too — the one with stocking stuffer suggestions for men. I laughed out loud at your mention of those felt pads for the bottom of chair legs. I thought my husband was the only one who had a collection! I had no idea it was a “man” thing. Thanks for the enlightenment and the laugh — and the great suggestion.
