What do you think about when you think about a blue quilt? Maybe the very first thing that springs to mind is the conventional shower gift for a couple about to have a little boy. But today, blue is a colour that may be utilized for both sexes in babies ' patchwork quilts -- whether boys or girls -- and may be employed for a lot of other scenarios, too.
Theme 1: baby
Blue is the perfect colour to put in a patchwork duvet for a baby, whether you use it all by itself for different shades and use it in the standard sense ( blue for a boy, pink for a girl, for example. ), or whether you are creative and pair it with different colours for a rather more varied look. Either way, a blue quilt given as a gift for baby shower -- or making one of your own for your own baby to be -- is going to be souvenir that may be used to keep a little one warm, then tucked away for memories afterward.
Theme 2: nature, and spring
What do you think of when you think of the color "blue" in nature? Blue flowers, dragonflies, and blue sky with fluffy clouds? Spring may spring to mind when you think of blue in nature, and if you want, you can put this into a patchwork quilt you make specially for the announcement of spring's arrival. be imaginative, and alternate shades of pale sky blue with pastel pinks, greens, and yellows, or be bolder and pair light blue with shades of royal purple, bright green, and cheery yellow for a bolder look.
Theme 3: nautical
Blue is also the color of water, and if you or someone you know loves boats, boating, and the water in general, you can pair different shades of blue with crisp blocks of white, accented with the odd block of bright red, to give the cover a nautical theme.
Theme 4: patriotism
Precise to the United States, you can make a red white and blue quilt that gives a nod to the Old Stars and Stripes. Combine star shaped patches of white with irregularly shaped patches of blue and red to give a clearly American feel to your cover, one that is's also unique and one-in-a-million.
Theme 5: night sky
Ultimately, if night is one of your favorite times, and you enjoy nothing less than a night out gazing at the stars, you can construct a patchwork duvet of a dark navy background with white "stars," to remind you about the night sky. Again, one-in-a-million and unique, this quilt will adorn your bed and really let you sleep "under the stars."
