Blue Macnas

 

Since I am giving the Blue Ribbon quilt to a friend, I decided I had to make another blue and white quilt for my table. So I gathered up some blue fabrics from the scrap and leftover bins.

I wanted clear blues that didn't lean towards blue-green (teal) or purple. For the lights I wanted white with blue and a very few whites have small amounts of other colors.

After I pressed all my fabrics, I cut stacks of each fabric.

After I cut all the blocks, I arranged them all so I could see stacks of each fabric. Next I will pair light fabrics with dark ones, trying to distribute them so each of the dark fabrics is paired with each of the light ones.

Here is the first batch of paired blocks. It has the feeling I like, so I think is going to work nicely.
