Cloudy day in AZ… Clouds on the quilt, blue and white…

Those of you who are from Arizona can relate to the fact that rainy/cloudy days are not the norm, especially these last few years in AZ  even in the monsoon season. Ironically, my daughter called from AZ and told me that  today and yesterday have been overcast and rainy.  So here’s a quilt to brighten the day of anyone who is experiencing “the BLUES.”

Last year I decided to make birthday quilts for all my in-law children, since I’d already made quilts for all of my children. So knowing that my son-in-law loves blue (thanks, Stephanie) I chose to make this striking quilt from the February 2013 American Patchwork and Quilting Magazine.

Wanting to  add interest and contrast to the geometric lines of the quilt, I quilted Feeling Blue on my Statler Stitcher long arm machine, using a cloud design from the Statler Sisters group. Hope you like it! Happy Thursday!
