A couple of weeks ago I opened Pandora's Box, a/k/a Blue and Brown. It contained an assortment of bits and pieces, pieces and parts, mostly reproduction fabrics in blue and brown.
Among the treasures in the box -- a Franken-medallion:
... in that case, mostly brown. And a set of finished Irish Chain blocks in blue. At that time there was a stack of unfinished block pieces with a label attached that said 13 blocks. I assumed that meant I could make 13 more Irish Chain blocks. NO. It meant I had 13 finished blocks and the pieces/parts would not make complete blocks without mixing the fabrics. But I did have enough background fabric and brown strips to make some shoofly blocks and this is the result.
As is, it's about 34" square. I will at least add another small border to make a baby quilt, or I might add another round of blocks to make it wheelchair size.
I love the combo of blue and brown, especially in repro fabrics.
I think that blue and brown project box was a treasure trove! Love the look of your Irish Chain and Shooflies together.
ReplyDeleteI think blue and brown are great together.
ReplyDeleteThe Irish shooflies (LOL) turned out well -- and you had enough of the background for all the blocks!
ReplyDeleteLibby, this is really beautiful! I love the color combination, too. It such a pretty, peaceful look! :)
