The Winter Blues Blog Hop!

I love blue!  And I love math and that's what lead me to this design.  When I was a kid I love to connect straight lines to make them appear to be curves.  I drew this pattern up in Electric Quilt and then went about paper piecing it.  This quilt uses an Island Batik collection called Indigo Morris.  It of course has my favorite Hobbs Batting inside (80/20 blend in this case).


Thanks Carla for getting me enthused to make this project!  Your blog hops are such fun.



 I decided to use this beautiful blue variegated Aurifil that I've had for a long time, but still had a wrapper on it.

I love to free motion machine quilt. I can't seem to stop once I start.

Feather fun.

Continuous curve on some interesting angles.

Here's the back!



Come back soon!  Or join my Machine Applique Adventures Facebook Group so you don't miss any posts.

 I hope you get to quilt today!
Suzy

    What a unique design. As soon as I saw it I thought...I bet this is called The North Star.

    Good morning! Your quilt is amazing and it sure does have a lot of movement with the quilting design you chose. Those feathers fill the space so nicely and they look just perfect. It is amazing that the thread doesn't look blue at all - I would have thought it would stand out more. Really nice job. ~smile~ Roseanne
