A Bevy of Blues – 2022.11.27

I belong to a group of fibre artists called FYBR 2RT. We have an exhibit in 2023 titled Tangled in Blue. All pieces will be 16″ x 16″.

I started with one of my favourite patterns – wavy lines intersecting with circles. Then I selected a wide variety of blue and blueish fabrics. There were a lot more to start, then I whittled it down to the ones below, plus a couple of solid fabrics.

I used my favourite techniques – freezer paper templates and raw edge seams covered with bias tape. I briefly considered using many different colours of bias tape.

But I decided on bluish shades of bias tape, except for the circles. I quilted wavy lines across the quilt before adding the circles.

Here’s the back, where you can see the quilting. (I used gray felt as batting. I didn’t add a backing fabric, as I mounted it on a wrapped canvas.)

Here is the finished quilt – A Bevy of Blues. Mostly blues, with a couple of my other favourite colours added for contrast.

I’m linking up with Nina-Marie’s Off the Wall Friday.
