No, I’m not feeling sad with the blues, I’m happy that I have made a start on my Rainbow Scrap Challenge using blues, the colour selected for the month. First I delved into my bag of donated butterfly fabrics, and yes, there were two pieces with blue backgrounds. It didn't take me too long to stitch up two puss i the corner blocks. I’m also cutting a 6in square from the fabrics used each month, these will be used to make a raggy butterfly quilt later on. The little four patch blocks I’m also making each month took some fiddling around to finish. In true patchwork make-it-do fashion I had to piece some small bits together from one of my white background fabrics, and that yielded 3 squares. For the fourth I just substituted another fabric, I’m sure when this little quilt is constructed the joins and the different fabric used will hardly be noticed.

I've been on a roll this afternoon and whipped up some Happy Blocks. Included are wolves,boats and a rather flashy blue car. A couple of the squares are repeated, and not all my blues are dark, but that’s OK, no quilt police live in my home for me to worry about. These are nice simple blocks and it’s fun to look through my strips to pick out something suitable to go with the 5in squares.

I always look forward to sewing what the new colour of the month will be. Bit by bit, we are building quilts! Cute blue block!
Nice start on June's RSC blue color! I like the butterfly blocks a lot...
hugs, Julierose
we get a little done every month and by the end of the year we have quilts to put together and have used up a lot of fabric through out the year- but still I find my bins are not getting less in them!! I think they were so packed full to begin with that they just aren't packed as full as they use to be perhaps?
You are indeed on a roll!
More pretty butterfly blocks - you will turn them into a lovely little quilt. And Happy Blocks are always a great standby for a quick quilt.
Such sweet butterfly prints! They're going to make great quilts!
Great start on the blues! That car looks like the flying car from Harry Potter =) Have a great weekend.
You sure have gotten a great many blocks completed already. Looking forward to seeing them all together in the different quilts.
God bless.
Fun start on the blues!!! I like your feature squares! And what quilter doesn't love butterfly fabrics!!!
Great start on BLUE month, Jenny!
You always come up with lovely ideas for your colour challenges. These blocks are great.
You are on the stick , Jenny. Sew much cuteness. How fun that you found the perfect butterfly fabrics in your stash and love the Happy Blocks. Have a very lovely week.
You have a great collection of novelty and butterfly prints!
