Rhapsody in Blue

The quilt has been rolled again but I took pictures first. The quilting doesn't look very different from last week but progress was made.

Here is the quilting from the left to the right.













I'm taking 10 days off blogging. I'll be back Wednesday the 21st with more to show you.

    Your quilting is just as beautiful as your appliqué. Hope your 10 day break is for a fun reason.

      I will be attending a quilt retreat part of the time. The ten days also gives me time to return home and get settled into the routine again.

    A retreat sounds like fun! I always accomplish a lot when I go on a retreat. Enjoy!
    Your “rhapsody in Blue” just sings! Gail at the cozy quilter.

    Every time I see Rhapsody in Blue in your title, that iconic glissando plays in my head! Hope you thoroughly enjoy your retreat and vacay from blogging.

    Love your hand quilting. I have rediscovered my love for it as well. Quilts just look somehow nicer when hand quilted. Enjoy your retreat
