Beautiful Blue

March 9, 2017

A blue and white quilt has been in my head for a while. After doing some spring cleaning in my sewing room, I pulled out the Pam Kitty Morning blue fabrics out and got busy making some Jacob's Ladder blocks. 

I played around with some layouts before I finished pressing them. 




I decided on the more traditional layout. The seams nested nicely with this option. 


I wanted it to be bigger, so I added some four patches to make a scrappy border. 


Now it waits to be quilted. =) 


Have a happy Thursday!

  9. Jacob's ladder is on my bucket list. I have always lost them, but I lost my mum late last summer and I feel like it will be theraputic to make with that pattern while I heal.
    That is a beautiful quilt!

    1. Karen, I see that you do not have a blog, so I cannot communicate with you directly. (Well, I have a blogger acct but I am not blogging)
      I am so sorry you lost your mum. I know your pain. I lost my momma late last summer too. Yes, make a quilt. Work slowly. I know exactly where you are. ....and life goes on and we have to keep going even though we carry this sadness ♥️

  12. That's beautiful! I really love the added blocks around the border - they take the quilt up another notch!
    It's a good thing that I don't quilt on Sundays - I'm awfully tempted to start digging for fabric...!
