Originally made for the 2024 QuiltCon fabric challenge, the specified color palette reminded me of the vintage cornflower blue Corningware we had in our kitchen when I was a child. Perusing the Pyrex Pattern Library online database from the Corning Museum of Glass, the 1950 Pyrex pattern “Eyes” specifically caught my attention because of the color synchronicity. Using the database images as inspiration, I digitized a quilting pattern and used raw edge reverse applique to create pops of color and contrast rough and smooth in this double-sided, reversible quilt.
