Machine pieced, machine appliqued, machine quilted.

I've enjoyed revisiting blue and white quilts but with a different inspiration. This pieces features indigo blue fabrics, including a Japanese shibori fabric. The central piece was purchased and enhanced with the kanji "Tobu". Tobu means "to fly". Layout based on concepts I learned from Judy Hopkins' Design Your Own Quilts (out of print). 

Quilt in private collection.
