Rhapsody in Blue

I finally got Rhapsody in Blue done!  It's been a long process and I have been working on it for many months.  It's a bit out of my comfort zone as it is more of a crazy quilt than a traditional pattern and for a long while it lacked a place for the eye to settle.  I finally resolved to add sashing and finish it up.  Overall I'm very pleased.  My hubby just loves it, but that's where his right brained mind is always attracted to these sorts of patterns and my logical left brain can't quite grow comfortable with the lack of pattern.

The quilt actually does have a pattern in a sense.  There are two sets of identical blocks throughout, although they are turned in different directions.  Can you spot them?

Since the front of the quilt was so crazy, I decided the back needed to match, so it got randomly pieced from leftover fabric to create this!

I think one of my supervisors likes it too.  She sure was interested.  This is Kaity Lu and she rarely sits still long enough to be of much help, but she hopped right into the picture to check things out.

I also got the blocks done for one of my baby quilts.  I'm still working on a name for this and trying to decide whether or not to add another row, so for now it is just sitting on my design wall waiting while I start on the blocks for the other baby blanket. 

I also made it to the store this week to buy lightweight stabilizer to start my scrap quilt.  What a busy week it has been!  No wonder I'm so worn out.
