We have a Winner - Charlene M. guessed correctly! The outer petals of the buds in the block in the lower right hand corner of photos 1 & 2; and featured in photo 5; are done in pale blue with the centers in medium blue. In all the other blocks, the buds are done with the outer petals in medium blue and the centers in pale blue. Once you know where to find it, it sticks out like a sore thumb! But, it's a humble quilt, so Heavenly Father will bless it and it will keep Debbie warm and happy, we pray. Thanks to all who took a guess. Merry Christmas!
My best friend, Debbie, lives almost a hundred miles away and, for the last few years, we've visited, mostly, by telephone. she is blind and ill, so is bed-ridden, frequently. A few years ago, I made her a Sunbonnet Sue quilt for Christmas. She wore that little quilt out last year. This year, soon after Christmas, she'll have this quilt I call "Debbie's Blue Quilt".

The top is finished and the borders are on, so it's ready to go to the quilter. I designed this quilt for our Saturday Quilters group in my little town. The Saturday group meets once a month and each person makes a quilt block for one person in the group. I had the group make the pieced blocks for this quilt.
I did all the applique' blocks with a little help from my friends. It has a "Humility Block" in it. IF YOU'RE THE FIRST ONE WHO CAN SPOT THE HUMILITY BLOCK AND MAKE A COMMENT ON IT, I'LL SEND YOU A FREE "SIMPLY SUE" QUILT PATTERN!!!!
Here's a close-up of the applique' block. It's a "Topeka Rose" but I called it a "Cherokee Rose" because Debbie is a Cherokee woman. She liked that title for the block a lot.
Here's a close-up of the pieced block, a variation on a four-patch with half-square triangles.
The border had a sweet little bunny hopping all around.....hippity, hippity......
So, send me a comment and point out the Humility Block, please.
On another note, here is our latest pattern, "BLESS THIS HOUSE", inspired by the old song, so popular in England during WWII.
This little wall hanging (14 1/2" x 16 1/4") is perfect for a small accent in your home. The pattern can be done using two-sided fusible web and wool, so the edges of the applique' do not need to be hemmed.
It's embellished with embroidery and a hint of metallic thread for her wand. The pattern will be available within the week and I'll let you know when it's up on Etsy.
Don't forget to search for the "Humility Block!"
HINT: The "Humility Block" is in three (3) of the photos of Debbie's Blue Quilt, including one (1) close-up.
Thanks for stopping by and visiting. I love your comments.
