The Desert Sky Blue
Glide 71788 Arizona Sky is the specific warm, slightly dusty blue of the Arizona sky — a blue with more warmth and character than standard cool blue threads. Unlike the sharp cool blues, Arizona Sky has the dusty warmth of high-altitude desert atmosphere. For Southwestern quilts and designs where blue should feel warm, vast, and naturally desert-sky, this is the most authentic Glide choice.
