About the Quilt Pattern
Got Blues? is a monochromatic quilt with twelve quilt blocks arranged on point. Setting squares alternate with the blocks and setting triangles are used to fill in the jagged edges.The quilt block used is known as Double V or Double R and is a traditional block published by multiple sources, including the Kansas City Star and Nancy Cabot. It is assembled with easy strip piecing techniques.
You can change the look of the quilt by using a variety of fabric colors instead of sewing with monochromatic blue.
