The Bird-Blue Vivid
Glide 30660 Blue Jay is the specific vivid medium-bright blue of the Blue Jay — a bold, clear, assertive blue that reads as confidently present. Named for this iconic North American bird, it delivers the natural, vivid blue of the bird's plumage: neither as dark as navy, nor as extreme as Electric, but the bold, clear, mid-vivid blue that reads as energetically natural. For bird-themed quilts and any design where blue should be as vivid and present as this beloved bird.
