More Blue Sewing

I’ve had a little time this week to do some more blue sewing on my RSC projects – blue is the chosen colour for the month.  Delving into my bag of batik fabrics, I found some pale blue to make several more Cobblestone blocks – these are very simple to cut and stitch.  And will be added to the green and pink ones previously stitched.

Blue Cobblestone blocks

More simple blocks were next in line.  I made some blue four patches and some little “flip and sew” flag blogs to add to my collection, very easy stitching indeed.  I’m thinking about stitching four of the four patches together to make a sixteen patch – or maybe not, I’ll have to think about it.

Pretty bits of BLUE, Jenny!!

Sara said...

The Cobblestones sure have a soft, calming look to them. So pretty! The last quilt I made with those blocks was very bright, for a kid's quilt. But these make me think "spa".

Love all your blue blocks - they're so pretty in the light blues! Those flag blocks are calling my name - I'll have to make a few!

Glad that you were able to add to your collections. Still plenty of time for the blocks to decide how they would like to be sewn together.

Pretty blue blocks, Jenny, Simple blocks are the best.

Pretty blue blocks! I'm not 100% sure where I'm going with my blue RSC blocks either, just having fun along the way.

Jackie said...

I do love those blue cobblestones. You are lucky to have so many shades of blue to choose from.

God bless.

So many pretty blocks. You're right - the next challenge is how to set them. Keep on playing!

It's good to see you using scraps. Though, I wouldn't be able to make blue blocks. Between blue, brown, and black, those colors are the fewest in my stash. Give me yellow, orange, and aqua! :-)

Oh, there are lots of fun things to do with four-patches! Enjoy the experimenting!

Beautiful blue building blocks for more quilts. Gwen Marston called all these little bits “the parts department”.

Karen S said...

These are all great blocks and will be perfect for your collection.

Cathy said...

Your blocks are so cute, and having lots of varied basic blocks is smart for quilters. I hope your back is beginning to feel better.

The blocks are a great way to use scraps and stash. You do well to work on so many different RSC projects each month.
