I finished sewing the quilt top together for the Kaleidoscope QAL yesterday afternoon. Here's the photo taken on my interior "design wall"... the blues look really dark...
...and the one I took outside. Hmmm... now the blues look a bit on the green side...
This photo show the blues closest to what they look like in real life...
Determined to shop my stash for backing, I didn't have much trouble finding pieces to audition because blue-and-white fabric seems to just follow me home.
I decided on the fabric on the right because it wasn't as "fussy" and the blues were closer to the blues in the quilt top.
The blue-and-white thing has been around for a while and I believe it started with my grandmother's dishes... the platter in the center was hers, the others I collected.
Later, I found "Denmark" dinnerware by Franciscan...
...and a set has been living at my house for over 20 years now.
In addition to collecting the flow blue plates, I also had this container to hold refill bottles of my favorite scent: Shalimar.
Yes, I do indeed have a thing for blue-and-white!
