A Touch of Blue

G9-MarysJourney

In the 1970’s and early 80’s, I had a lot of blue in my house.  Country blue!  We had a lot of antiques, and everything was decorated Country Style.  Funny how times and tastes change, isn’t it?   Now, whenever I look at something in those shades of blue, I instantly remember the rooms, the baskets, the country knick knacks… and my little boys running all over the house.

It took awhile to paper piece this little block last night, but it was fun, as it brought back all those memories.  It’s G9, Mary’s Journey.

  1. It is interesting how taste change isn't it. My house is quite a bit different now than 20 years ago in style - but still have all these quilts just didn't have as many back then and they were made out of cheaper fabric!

  3. A great block...
    I don't know what style I have in my home. I am more for function I think. The only part of country decor I have around here is dust! LOL! 8-)
    Happy stitchings!
