Blue What?

Blue Danube, Blue Rodeo, Blue Diamond, Blue Book. I know this quilt needs a title, but Blue Diamonds is a brand of nuts so that's out. I have to think of something. Actually all I have to do is pick something.

Anyway.

I liked the layout of the giant diamonds, so I started filling in with the medium sized diamonds.

But then I wondered if it was too light, so I added some purple and darker green medium sized diamonds.

Blue Monday, Blue Deco, Blue Rose.

As soon as I got across the room, I realized the purple ones were too dark. So those went.

Blue Moon, Blue Boy, Blue Velvet.

When I went back across the room, I didn't like the green ones either. So those went out too.

Blue Eyes, Blue Christmas, Blue Dahlia. 

Now I have to make some four patch diamonds. MOST of them will be blue and green, but I may need others, so I have cut strips of yellow, orange and pink. (Because if I have too many of the same color diamonds in a row, it just looks too dark.)

Blue Valentine, Blue Jasmine, Blue Lagoon.

I have gotten this far, but I have more four patch diamonds to make, so this is it for now. And yes, this is what happens when you do nothing all day but sit in your air-conditioned studio, "watch" tennis (Wimbledon) and sew.

This quilt is going to be really pretty.

Blue Laughter, Blue Smiles, Blue Joy (sounds like the name of a laundry detergent), Blue Dreams.
