Bubbling BLUES!

I named my quilt "Bubbling BLUES".  

If you haven't figured it out by now...

I LOVE the color BLUE!  

I am obsessed with the color BLUE! When I see something blue, I smile from ear to ear.  

The color BLUE is definitely a  mood changer for me!  

Makes me SMILE!

When I selected Blue for my color from the Cherrywood Fabrics this month, I decided it needed to be divided with black strips to really make the blue POP!

As I was sewing them together I was smiling... OOOO I love it!

I added a wider black border, so I could cut it at an angle.

Here's how I cut it.

Selected the quilting thread -- of course blue and black -- that was easy.

I wanted to quilt with bubbles to really make the quilt whimsical, happy, and bubbly!

The next several photos shows each row and the series of bubbles that define the rows.

I Wiggle Cross Hatched Stitched the floral block.

I used 2 layers of batting --- 80/20 on the bottom and poly on the top. It gives my quilt a nice 3D look! It makes it a little firmer, but still flexible.

A couple photos of the backside for you.

My hanging sleeve is ready to sew on.  I will wait for a rainy day to do the hand sewing.  I do not like to hand sew at all! But I can do it!

I stitched in Marcia and 2015 in the outer border while I was quilting it.

YES I love the blues and the bubbles!

  
The Wiggle Line Quilting in the black borders gives it a nice finish and helps to create the angle of the quilt.

I embroidery stitched the binding on with a Wiggle Zig Zag Stitch.

A fun angle to take a few photos.
