It's a top!
Singing The Blues
54 x 72
A big star center with a musical themed collage...
...and blue charms (5 inch squares) accumulated over time from others...
...make a nice comfort quilt.
And sewing those charms together randomly is nice mindless sewing for when I just want to listen to those marbles rolling around in my head and for a rainy day when little Cathy wants to play.
Hmmm...there sure seems to be a lot of Elephant butts in there. I didn't realize when sorting or sewing squares. I forgot to tell myself "no ifs, ands, or butts"
And sew on...

When it is not raining I'm usually in the gardens more than the sewing room.

Your blue charms have given me an idea . . . LOL re: the butts. I try to avoid eyes in charm patches.
I have used several elephant prints and it is HARD not to get elephant butts. Your blue top is wonderful!
all of your flowers are really looking great!
I love your garden tours. I don't have Penstemon any more. i transplanted some in the back garden a couple years ago but it didn't come up in the spring.
Beautiful garden!
Your bluest of blues quilt is amazing, Cathy--Being the blue lover that I am, I love how they vibrate...just gorgeous work... ;)))
hugs, Julierose
Thanks for the laughter, I needed that one. No ifs and or butts just cracked me up. I really like how your blues turned out and I might copy that. Thanks for the inspiration, again. Lovely garden. Enjoy it!

Fabulous blues Cathy. Love that star in the middle singing it's heart out!
Love all those various blues in the quilt! Makes it look very full and interesting. The flowers are all so marvelous! This time of the year in the garden is a miracle everyday!
Beautiful garden and fantastic quilt! That star is the perfect addition to all the blue squares.
Beautiful flowers! And another scrappy quilt inspiration! I can see this working with so many colors. And now I’ll have “Well I never felt more like singing the blues” in my head all day!
