5 Theme Ideas for a Blue Quilt
What do you think about when you think of a blue quilt? Perhaps the very first thing that is evoked is the normal shower gift for a couple about to have a baby boy. Nevertheless today, blue is a color that can be utilized for both sexes in babies ‘ patchwork quilts — whether boys or girls — and can be used for a lot of other scenarios, too.
Theme 1: baby
Blue is the ideal color to put in a patchwork cover for a baby, whether you use it all by itself for different shades and use it in the traditional sense ( blue for a boy, pink for a girl, for example. ), or whether you are creative and try it with different colors for a more sundry look. Either way, a blue quilt given as a gift for baby shower — or making one of your own for your own baby to be — is going to be keepsake that can be used to keep a little one warm, then hidden away for memories thereafter.
Theme 2: nature, and spring
What do you think of when you think about the colour “blue” in nature? Blue flowers, dragonflies, and blue sky with fluffy clouds? Spring may spring to mind when you think of blue in nature, and if you want, you can put this into a patchwork quilt you make specially for the statement of spring’s arrival. be creative, and alternate shades of pale sky blue with pastel pinks, greens, and yellows, or be bolder and pair faded blue with shades of royal purple, bright green, and cheery yellow for a bolder look.
Theme 3: nautical
Blue is also the colour of water, and if you or a person you know loves boats, boating, and the water in general, you can pair different shades of blue with crisp blocks of white, accented with the odd block of bright red, to give the duvet a nautical theme.
Theme 4: patriotic pride
Specific to the United States, you can make a red white and blue quilt that gives a nod to the Old Stars and Stripes. Blend star formed patches of white with irregularly shaped patches of blue and red to give a distinctly American feel to your duvet, one that is’s also unique and one-in-a-million.
Theme 5: night sky
Ultimately, if night is one of your favourite times, and you enjoy nothing more than a night out gazing at the stars, you can construct a patchwork quilt of a dark navy background with white “stars,” to remind you about the night sky. Again, one-of-a-kind and unique, this quilt will enhance your bed and actually let you sleep “under the stars.”
