Winter Blues Blog Hop and More!

I'm so happy to join a fabulous group of quilters for the Winter Blues Blog Hop.

What could be nicer than joining in on the Winter Blues Blog Hop?   Completing your Winter Blues table topper AND looking at your topper, out your window, onto a Winter Blues Wonderland!

Close up of snowflake and swirls quilting on completed topper (still need to bind)

Star Burst Tutorial from the Missouri Star Quilt Company  Basically take two 10" squares (background and a color), place right sides together, sew around the perimeter, slice in half diagonally twice, to get four half square triangles. I made 100 HSTs (25 for each quadrant).   Mine turns out to be about 56" square.

Winter Blue Snowflake table topper Gift (from the Snow Flake Sew Along)

A Spring time Blues project.  This was a tutorial by the Crafty Quilter.  Quilt Along 1st week link with tutorial is here.  My original post for this project is here.

Hi Sheri! What a fabulous collection of blue quilts! Your table topper looks really pretty, and that picture looking out at the snowscape bring it all home. I am especially fond of the photo showing how you quilted this topper. The swirls just give it such nice movement - I can hear the wind a whistling - and the snowflakes are a perfect addition. Thanks so much for sharing with us today. ~smile~ Roseanne

So much inspiration, Thank you!

Calicojoan said...

There are no more winter blues after seeing all your beautiful projects. Wow, each and every one is a stunner!

Karrin Hurd said...

Gorgeous blue quilts! Love them all!

tink's mom said...

Well that collection of blues is amazing. Love them all. That snowflake in the quilting is such a wonderful addition to an already great piece.

Susan said...

The quilt is beautiful. I've thought about doing that tutorial, and you may have just pushed me into it! I could be done as a leader-ender, and that's appealing. All of your blue quilts are beautiful, but I'm blown away by your painting. I admire anyone who can draw and paint and have something that looks like what it's meant to be. That is a wonderful painting, and one I'd pay money to own. I think you are so blessed with talent!

What a wonderful bunch of BLUE projects for the Hop!!! I almost made a Modern Snowflake quilt, too. Ran out of time!

Charlene McCain said...

Oh my goodness, it looks cold outside! Your tablecloth is beautiful! It looks like the complicated Lone Star pattern, but when you said HST I looked again and thought, that's something I could do! I just might give this one a try. SO beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

LJ said...

Your star quilt top is wonderful and a perfect project for the 'winter blues'. I'm really fond of that last table topper - The Crafty Quilter's pattern. Thank you for sharing.
