This past week I didn’t work on any further projects with my blue scraps, mostly because there aren’t enough left to do anything with. That’s a good thing, isn’t it?
But I thought I would still link up to our Scrappy Saturday over at Angela’s blog by recapping what I did with my blue scraps in January.
 |
| 18 Blue Rail Fence 9” Blocks of vintage sheets |
 |
| 8 Blue Twinkler Star Blocks for our 2016 RSC Challenge Quilt |
 |
| 1 Mama cat and 12 Kitten blocks sewn into a 24” square |
 |
| 10 16-patch blocks (8”) of blue with white/black |
 |
| 5 Miscellaneous blocks with 1 vintage dresden (not sewn by me) |
 |
| 3 large Dresdens on 20” blocks with doily and yo-yo centers |
 |
| 10 crumb blocks (8”) for some yet-to-be-determined project |
I had planned to sew a quilt block or two with selvages, but didn’t really have enough to get a good start. And truthfully, I have to do more studying of the technique of sewing selvages as well as deciding on (and purchasing) a suitable background fabric/fabrics. So that one will be put off until 2017.
That still left me with 67 blocks sewn for the month and five different quilts started! In addition, I finished one quilt (see last post) and two other blocks for the Sugar Block Club. All in all, not a bad month. And there are still a few days left in which I hope to finish up my Valentine Quilt. No pictures of that, yet.
I am looking forward to working with brown as the color of the month for February. My brown stash is limited, just like my sewing days because of a 10-day vacation we’re taking. The Dresden quilt will not use browns, and I only need to make 3 blocks of brown for the vintage sheet quilt. So even though I haven’t started with brown yet, I feel as though I’m already making inroads, hehe!

So Scrappy to see all the other scrappy goodness?
