Throw Back Thursday 08/04/16

Here's a quilt top that I had forgotten about!  I wonder where it is now...  I taught this quilt back in 2009 (see the original post here).  It was designed by Mary Johnson and she posted it on her blog.  She graciously gave permission for me to teach it and this is what I came up with.  I remember I was really happy that I found the background blue fabric because it had little circles on it that looked like bubbles.  However, I was not happy later, as it is really a very odd purple-blue and it is difficult to put other blues with it.  I haven't been able to use any of the scraps.  I pull them from the stash and then have to put them back because they don't play well with others!  I should try to find this quilt top and use it to practice machine quilting.  I could do some interesting things in those open spaces.
