Blueberry
Cobbler is a beautiful all-blue quilt. Using just blue (or your
choice of color), you will create an eye-catching quilt while
learning how to mix values of one color. You may choose to work
with any combination of light, medium, or dark blue fabrics. Of
course, the recipe is included in your pattern.
You'll
need fabrics of one color. I chose blues. You can mix values -
light, medium, dark, as desired. Dont worry if the blues dont
match. I chose some bright blues, gray blues, and some aqua blues.
Choose blues you like, not necessarily blues that go together.
