My Blue and Green Quilts

Blue is my  favorite color.  I would like to share a few of my blue and green quilts. The first quilt  is  blue and brown.  I love geometric shapes and enjoy making quilts with squares. Almost every quilt  I  made has had some kind of polka dot fabric in it.
This quilt has these cute blue and brown dot fabrics.
 I like the brown backing.
 This is another favorite quilt of mine...blue and green pinwheels. I added some yellow to the cool colors.
I have washed this quilt so many times and  it is getting softer with every wash.
Blue backing to match the blue pinwheels.
This is the very first quilt I made after I got my AccuQuilt Go cutter.  Once again I added some warm colors to the cool green Stretched Star Quilt.

Green and yellow flowery border and binding.
Another blue quilt with yellow.
This one got a touch of brown chenille next to the first border.
I love to use my scraps to make String Quilts.  This String Quilt has green sashings  and the same light green in the border.

I  ran out of the light green fabric and used a darker green for the binding.
Marjie pieced this blue table runner and I did the quilting for her.  We used my Go cutter to cut the Rob to Pay Perer Paul blocks. I hope you enjoy all the blue and green quilts.
Happy Quilting!

  8. Blue is my favourite colour too, those quilts are just lovely.
    Adding the chenille was a lovely touch!
    I just bought some beautiful blue fabric for a quilt... but don't know what to do with it yet... what patterns/blocks to do it in. Suppose I will have to wait until I see just the right pattern.

  11. Blue and Green pinwheels with a touch of yellow (that was an inspired idea) is my most favorite. And choosing a favorite was very hard as they're all exhilarating in they way you've used your colors. Lovely! Multi-talented Millie. :)

  21. Hey, Millie, how are you doing?
    I have been trying to find a tutorial on finishing my quilt, block by block.
    I do not have a long arm machine and don't have plans to buy one. But a while back I saw a program on TV where they finished each block then assembled the quilt. Do you know how this works. I would love your help, if you have the time.

  22. Millie, well I think you know I too love browns and blues...but the stretched star with the greens, yellow, well it defines for me, SUNSHINE...It is bright, warm, and shines of you...
