My first husband used to tell me that if he didn't go shopping with me, all my clothes would be blue (and mostly navy) and sailor. I couldn't find a pattern for a sailor suit for work, so I made one. I used a classic skirt pattern. Then I found a jacket pattern that I left open and adapted a sailor collar from another jacket to it. The sleeves from one of the two jacket patterns had a slight bell sleeve which happened to be popular at the time. I used white, small gross grain ribbon on the collar and sleeve bottoms. I made a round necked blouse that buttoned on one shoulder so that I didn't have a closure that showed when I wore the jacket. Back to quilting, I think I have only made one mainly blue quilt. Blue happens to be sister-in-law's favorite color also. I made her a predominately blue queen sized quilt for the bed in the parsonage after her ordination. My brother made the bed. I ordered most of the fabrics online from a collection. So, I need to restate my previous statement. I have made two blue queen size quilts. From the "scraps" from my SIL's quilt, I made a queen quilt for our bed, too, using the same pattern. The borders of each were scalloped. It was fun to make very similar quilts.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825257012315494167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757169784448574694.post-64857497455805984492018-11-10T12:41:46.575-07:002018-11-10T12:41:46.575-07:00Thank you for sharing all that information about M...Thank you for sharing all that information about Monet and yes, "big breath in, big breath out" when someone calls my quilted pieces of useful art blankets :) The piece you created is just a fantastic interpretation of the theme!

It would be frustrating to not see the colours that you know are there. Your Monet Inspired Mosaic quilt is lovely and the quilting amazing. Congratulations and keep making art! ps.

Now they just don't remove them they replace the old lens with a new artificial lens. But we've kept the term "removing cataract" anyway. So glad you participated in the Art with Fabric hop. I wasn't able to this time; maybe next time. So do tell, do you have any blue fabric left??Tu-Na Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06556292032780405882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757169784448574694.post-21598141491818416562018-11-09T09:18:58.116-07:002018-11-09T09:18:58.116-07:00While I call myself a quilter, I think of myself m...While I call myself a quilter, I think of myself more as a fabric artist, esp. when I do these types of challenges. <br />I do love blue and my last quilt turned that blue corner without my intended it to. I actually struggle with steering away from blue otherwise every last quilt of mine would be in that color palette.

That was so interesting, because after my husband's cataract surgery, the two things he said over and over were "Everything is so clear and sharp!" and "I had forgotten how many colors there are". This is a great post, and your quilt is really scrappy!Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757169784448574694.post-36196687889487501682018-11-09T04:50:52.177-07:002018-11-09T04:50:52.177-07:00Aqua blue and coral are my favorite colors.
