Viking Blue!

 

This blog is for my Class of 72 Vikings! Class reunion is coming up and I thought it would be easiest for me to post the info for the Viking Raffle Quilt this way. I am hoping any and all quilters/sewers/adventurist spirits will contribute to this project.

The vision is quite simple. White stars on a blue background. The rules are pretty simple, actually.

1. The white should be white white (no cream, no print, but white on white is fine

2. Viking Blue. Also may be called cobalt (Kona). Think the blue on the crayon that says Blue. Values can go up or down a bit but needs to stay in the blue range. Get as many prints as you can find.

3. Please use many different blue prints in each block. (Do not make the whole block with just one fabric. It will stick out amongst the scrappy). Try for 4 or more per block.

4. ANY STAR is ok. ANY SIZE  is ok. The more variety the better. (I'd say 12" would be the absolute largest, and as many little ones as possible, to add sparkle. Little pinwheels are also nice in the background)

5. Please send any leftover scraps/squares/strips of the blues so I can create the scrappy background.

I am hoping to get all blocks by April so I have time to make the top (or tops if we get a lot). 
Please message me on Messenger  with questions and for address to send. (I know not everyone has Messenger-I hear you Debbie-so I guess you're on your own to figure out how to reach me. I think Ann has the reunion mailing list)

I can't wait to get packages in the mail with beautiful white stars and  scraps of blues.

Oh,,one more thing. Prewashing is not necessary UNLESS the fabric has been in contact with cats. Very allergic.
