We're wrapping up "The Blues" with a look at the dazzling quilts we've featured over the last two weeks. And, we've come to a few conclusions. First, we love the color Blue, in all its manifestations. Second, we are captivated by bold graphic designs with high contrasts: there is nothing bland about these quilts! Finally, just looking at these quilts makes us feel serene and hopeful... which means that color psychology is for real!

Looking at all of these beautiful blue quilts side by side...they are even more amazing! Each one compliments the other in such a stunning display!
ReplyDeleteLooking at these quilts makes me want to make another blue and white quilt. I have plenty of blue material left from making my DJ so that wouldn't be a problem.
