Out of the Blue
Lady Sings the Blues
60 x 72
It's a finish!
I started making these Economy Blocks back in November 2020 in order to use up a lot of blue scraps as well as some blue 3 inch (finished) Nine Patches.
I finished the top back in January 2021 and if you read that post you can see how I went about assembling it in a sort of "planned random" manner.
This quilt actually used up more scraps than I thought it would but I do still have some blue scraps left to play with.
I quilted it with blue thread on my DSM with diagonal, horizontal and vertical lines intersecting in the center of the little nine patches.
The binding is a digital print that looks like a blue knit sweater. And I had just enough of this blue floral print for the back.
And now it is ready for giving or gifting.

This is lovely! I like how you set the 3" 9-patches, making them nicely spaced.
This is so beautiful, and I love it.
That is sooo pretty. I like how the little white crosses sparkle in the blue. :)
Love all the blues with the pops of color here and there. A perfect gifting or donation quilt to a very lucky person.
Another great finish! Love the name too!
And how many more of those mini-9's do you have? LOL!
What a wonderful way to use up scraps, and the all-over blue theme is just perfect! You've inspired me to dig into my plethora of blue or green scraps!!!
Awesome use of blue scraps...on my a squirrel.
This is a fantastic looking quilt! Very striking and kinda moody too with all the rich blues.:)
Love it!
Absolutely gorgeous! Are these 6 inch blocks? Pinning!
Luscious blues in this one--nice work hugs, julierose
Lovely use of scraps. Congratulations on the finish.
It's beautiful! Blue is my favorite color and I love 9-patches. What does one have to do to be worthy of this quilt? (hint, hint...)
This one is going on my bucket list!! I love it - and all those blues! They are just gorgeous!!!
What a lot of hours went into this one. The economy blocks take long enough, but add in the nine patch centers, oh boy. I know I don't have enough scraps in any single color to pull off something like this. I'm making nine patches with floral fabrics right now. It's really been fun.

Lovely blue finish Cathy. Look at all those pretty scraps!
Beautiful finish, Cathy!!
That a wonderful blue quilt, all scrappy yet peaceful. Love it. Congrats! ;^)
Such a pretty quilt, so much to look at. I cannot begin to fathom how much time was spent in the making of the quilt. Whoever receives it will feel very special.
Love all the scrappy economy blocks. Fabulous finish!
A beautiful finish! With a bit of blue-green, it makes me think of a beautiful body of water.
So many blues! I can't get over the depth of variety in your scraps!
Simply gorgeous quilt!
Lovely, lovely quilt, the best name possible for it and the size not too large!
Wow! I love it! And your names are always so fun!
Sew pretty in Blue!
