Have you been getting all the gorgeous blues this week? Even though pink is my favorite color, blue is like that reliable best friend that you know will always show up and be awesome. Blue is versatile and has that ability to range from sweet and soft to dark and moody. And, blue paired with tans is one of my favorite combos. In fact, I’m trying to figure out how to incorporate that palette into my house! Unfortunately, I also love color so while the thought of a coordinated theme is attractive, I’m not ready to give up my cranberry living room.
I had pulled a favorite UFO out determined to finish it for this event but life intervened. But, I did move this project along towards a finish. Just an inner border and a pieced border are left to go. This is Bonnie Hunter’s Jamestown Landing which can be found in her String Fling book. I used all kinds of blues in this one and a wide variety of lights.
I took a little stroll down memory lane and pulled photos of some of my other quilts featuring blues.
I love how many blue moods there are!
A huge thank you to Carla at Creatin’ in the Sticks for putting this together. I’ve been tapping (or swiping) this out on my phone because this is happening at my house…
So, if you haven’t checked this out yet, be sure to check out all the beautiful blues!
Happy quilting!

Your UFO quilt is gorgeous!
Jamestown Landing is absolutely gorgeous! Glad you got it out and moved it forward a bit. I have a Bonnie quilt that just needs one more border sitting in my sewing room right now too. LOL!!

Congrats on moving your Jamestown Landing a little more toward the finish line. It is so pretty – I love it. Thanks for sharing your many blue projects. So many that I am inspired by.
Great use of colors in the Jamestown Landing. Looks like you’ve got this project close to ‘finished’. Keep up the super work.
I like your Bonnie Hunter, string of diamonds and rainbow cat the best.
