Bolts of Blue
Choose a hue (how 'bout blue?) and let it be the guide for a controlled-scrappy throw. Our project testers, Kathleen Williams and Judy Sams Sohn, used a two-tone blue stripe for background and sashing and a bevy of blue-and-white prints from the Spa collection by Deb Strain for Moda Fabrics for this 25-block quilt.
