Blue seems to be having a serious moment in the quilting world! Cobalt, navy, sky blue…no matter the shade, blue quilts are everywhere. As the release of indigo-inspired collections such as Cotton+Steel’s Bluebird and Alison Glass’ Handcrafted Indigos become increasingly popular, it makes sense that we’re feeling a bit blue!

Thankfully fabrics nowadays don’t bleed quite as much, but there’s no denying the beautiful look of a blue and white quilt! INSPIRATION I’ve seen…
