Throughout the years I have collected blue and white pottery in all shapes and sizes and just love how the different patterns play off each other when grouped together, creating an energetic and familiar contrast in any room. How fun would it be to make quilts and pillows that creates the same effect, or that depict pottery. This was the inspiration behind Something Blue.

Something Blue consists of 32 fabrics, 15 different pattern designs, some repurposed and some new. Most of them are in a light-on-dark version and a dark-on-light version, to create two colorways. Fun additions to the main collection and blenders are border fabrics that allow you to make more realistic pottery. There is also a fun design with quilt labels and ornaments for decorations.

The projects are mainly inspired by pottery collections in keeping with the theme, some with appliqué flowers to contrast the blue and white. Keep in mind that blue and white works well with so many quilt designs – just simple squares alternating light and dark fabrics would make beautiful quilts and pillows.
