Saturday at the Quilt Museum - I'm in the mood for blue! - Part 1

I'm just hankering for some blue quilts, so that's the direction we're heading for the next couple of weeks!


Blue and White School House
1890

This first one is a classic schoolhouse quilt.  I like the one white block in the upper left corner.  Mistake or humor?  Lots of fun.
