Here are my two double plus blocks for June
featuring the RSC color BLUE.
Here's a detail photo of one block.
And here's a detail block of the second one.
And speaking of BLUE . . .
DH and I finally made it to Crosstown Concourse
to see the BLUE quilt exhibit.
These are just a few photos of the 24" x 24" quilts
unified by the exhibit's theme of blue.
So many different interpretations . . .
And so many stitches and hours of work.
(you can see my April Showers barn quilt in this photo)
The maker's names and quilt names are located
under the lower right corner of each quilt
on small clear labels -- not the easiest to read
but designed not to detract from the overall exhibit.
Some of the quilts were dimensional
(like the one in the second row here)
while others were made with wood, paper, and paint but
most were created with fabric and thread.
The exhibit runs through July
for those in the greater Memphis area.

Love blue! Always makes a statement. My husband accompanies me many times to quilt shows and museums Suprisingly we always have a good time. Many times he points out area of design or structure that I hadn't noticed.

What a wonderful looking exhibit! So interesting. Your background fabrics for your blue blocks are great. I really like the vibe.:)
I love your big and little cross blocks! And.... I was reading through your sidebar and came across the (be still my heart!!) Dumpster diving 3.0 ;000
I NEED to make one..WANT one badly, MUST have one..in my life etc...
It is SO gorgeous...off to cutting 1.5" scraps...some things in life you have to try (esp. after my epic curves failure!!) hugs, Julierose (Oh yes, and lovely show too--what great pieces);))))
What fun to see your quilt in the show. A great day trip for you and DH. Your plus blocks are lovely, too. Great fabric choices.
Amazing quilts/art in that show! Glad you had an entry! Blue was fun this month! How big are your double plus blocks?
Love all the blues. I like your blues with the text fabric. I have been collecting text for a while and need to find a quilt to use it in or I will be buried. Great exhibit, very inspirational.
Those double plus blocks are some of my favorites! The blue quilt exhibit is wonderful - thanks for sharing!
Your Double Plus blocks are beautiful! Great BLUE exhibit. Very inspirational for us RSCers!
Nice double plus blocks. I especially like the background. Thanks for sharing the exhibit. Perfect timing for the blues!
great exhibit of blue quilts! thanks for sharing photos with us. The low volumes in your blocks are awesome
Interesting exhibit! Thanks.
What a great collection of blues, also a decent size to really show off the designs.
