Hello Helen! Happy Friday! I LOVE that pretty blue and white quilt! It is very summery. I ordered some beautiful grayish blue fabric yesterday to start a quilt. I just need to find the right shade of white. You really can't go wrong mixing any color with white for a pretty quilt. Thank you for the seaside pictures. Wishing I was there. 😊

Love the blue and white, so pretty. The overhead shot is such a good idea to see all the detail in the quilting.
