Blue Skies (the quilt)

photo will supersize if double-clicked

This is my birthday week,

and I think it is 

pretty darn awesome that 

See Rock City 

is this week's featured quilt in the

2015 AQS Engagement Calendar.

And, because I love those scrappy sky blues SO much,

earlier this year I made myself a quilt with the leftovers.

Here is the quilt's back, sunbathing on the fence.

I LOVE THIS QUILT!

LOVE . . . 

LOVE . . . 

LOVE . . . 

So, if you don't hear from me,

I'll be out here on the porch

with my mug of tea and my happy, scrappy quilt.

Scrappy Saturday - Blue Skies (the flimsy)

I took this photo looking up through the open sunroof of my car last week.

So many nuances in that beautiful sky.

Which is why this scrappy flimsy has been named . . .

Blue Skies

A few minutes after I took that first photo,

the clouds shifted  . . . another glorious view.

Which is why I chose the pale blue cloud fabric for the inner border.

Mother Nature absolutely rocks when it comes to colors and inspiration.

The quilt top measures 52" x 62"

These scraps from earlier quilts make me SO happy!

And now you see why I put together this scrappy back 

that I shared in last week's post.
