Today, as we celebrate Green Monday here in Cyprus (the beginning of Great Lent) I wanted to share with you my Blue and White Tumbler Quilt. I made this last summer (June 20o9).
I loved making this quilt.
I was very much taken with Kathie Holland's former Header on her blog. Kathie's blog Inspired by Antique Quilts is just such a joy to visit and such a source of constant inspiration. Kathie, you are the best!
The simplicity of the design allowed me to play with the fabrics, even though I was working with a 'tight palette'. I just loved the sparkles provided by the periwinkles, lilacs and the shy turquoises. I kept the hand-quilting in the ditch to really make the tumblers pop.
This is a quilt I really would like to make again.
This time in reds and whites, perhaps?
Have a wonderful start to your week!

Your blue and white tumbler is gorgeous! I think a red and white one would be really neat to! I made a scrappy tumbler which is still waiting to be hand quilted. I enjoy visiting Kathie's blog as well. She is an inspiration for sure. :0)
