Blue Plate Special Plate Block And You Have Chintzware China On The Wall.
Blue Plate Special Plate Block That Even Has Even Has Shelves.
A Blue Plate Special plate block that uses one color. Blue. The white doesn’t count because it’s not really a color! And if you’re a blue and white fabric quilter this Blue Plate Special Quilt block will get you addicted to the unique design of Chintzware Plates. And they are absolutely gorgeous on this quilt. As Gai Perry puts it:
” … combining two of my favorite things, blue and white and china plates!”
In this pattern each quilt block has a cobalt blue and white print for the plate rim. The plate centers features a variety of light blue, and white prints, and some plate centers are just white. Then the background border is totally white. To add, shelves are included in the pattern design.
For this the shelves are constructed with two fabrics. Blue plus a darker contrasting fabric to give dimension.
Once fabric pieces are cut this is an overview of the plate block sewing guide.
