Yes I'm taking a short break from red... You know me, I'm a BLUE gal! So I just had to have a little "blue fix". ...

While browsing in a quilt store in Quesnel, B.C. a couple of months ago, I overheard the proprietor mention to another customer (who was purchasing blue fabrics for a project) that some quilter friends of hers noticed that most prize-winning quilts are blue or have a lot of blue in them.
I too love the colour blue - in any shade or hue.
After having our guild members fill out a general survey, I did some research to add interest to my presentation of facts back to the guild and learned than NBer’s buy more blue paint and wallpaper than any other province. Interesting trivia, I think.
Looking forward to a picture! I'm a red girl all the way!
Have to admit it's my favourite colour, from the beautiful tropical green blues to the lovely "purply" blues!! LOL
And we learned that quilts that are blue are appraised higher than any other color. Love that purse design that Sue designed. I wasn't around to take the workshop either.
