This is a great day to hang out the quilt-a gentle breeze and subdued sunshine.
This is one white center piece with 20 appliqued flowers. The applique work is quite impressive with about 10-12 stitches per inch. You can see an overall quilt design as well on the white background.
These are two of my favorite colors-blue and green. In fact, we used blue and green as our wedding colors 38 years ago. If I had known then that my MIL had this quilt, I would have tried to use it some way in the wedding decor.
A paler shade of blue...
juxtaposed against a darker flower.
It can rest at the foot of the bed...
become a tablecloth for a future tablescape...
make a great tablecloth for a romantic picnic...
or display on a quilt stand.

Beautiful quilt! I love each way you've displayed it.
Beautiful quilt!!! I loaded your link, come by and visit my blog. THANKS!!! Geri
Joan, that is a wonderful quilt! I adore the design and the colors. I like to use quilts for tables and just to stack in a cupboard and admire. I have bought most of mine over the years, but I do have one that Mr. Magpie's grandmother made. My grandmother's quilt was washed so many times it finally fell apart. I wish my mother had saved it because I could have had little stuffed animals made from the good parts of it. It had been made from all of her sister's dresses.
You are blessed to have one that pretty. It's just perfect for Blue Monday. Hope yours is happy!
