I've been busy stitching away at my blue blocks this week. Nice easy blocks so it hasn't been too onerous. What takes the time is choosing what fabric to frame some of the blocks with. I found three charm squares in blue tones to make Happy blocks, birds and owls, Micky and Minnie Mouse and pretty coloured hearts on a navy blue background. The four patch blocks, stitched up last year and ready and waiting to be assembled, contain black scotty dogs and a little more of the birds and owls fabric.

Next were my Hollow Nine blocks in blue. I'm only using pre cut squares tucked away in a little bag for this project. It yielded enough squares for five blocks, two in dark blue and three in pale blue. There are some repeats but I don't really mind about that, I just want this bag of squares used up!

I still have to frame my pirate blocks, but Houston, I have a problem. These have been carefully put away and I can't find them! Guess I'll have to check some UFO bags in case they have been put in the wrong bag by mistake. That's what happens when you have various UFOs on the go.

Nice blocks - I like the little squares too :-))
Good luck with your search. I'm sure you'll succeed.
Looking forward to seeing your progress.
We have rain today. I was in the strawberry field yesterday and am now making jam.
A kind greeting to you.
Just the cutest fabrics in these blocks!! I know what you mean about UFO's seeming to "vanish"!! I don't really have a box for every project and tend to put a few in each and then forget to label what is in the box!! Good luck finding your "runaway" blocks;)))
Hugs, Julierose
I have a few UFO’s missing in action too…. I will have to do some digging. You are making good use of your bag of squares with all those blocks each month.
Lovely blues and blocks, Jenny. I know exactly what you mean. It seems most of my projects these days involve a "hunt" at some point, :)
those types of patchwork go fast don't they - I hope you can find all of them.
Hope you find your blocks. Blues are so pretty
Love your blue blocks. Hope you find the others soon.
You have some cute prints in your blues! I love the birds and owls with the funny looks on their faces!
Blue in all its hues is beautiful. Your blocks are lovely, Jenny. Oh dear, I hope you find those missing pirate blocks.
Those are some pretty Happy Blocks and the Hollow Nine Patches look fabulous. Enjoy piecing these fun blocks. Hugs.
There is definitely something to be said for easy blocks, Jenny. Congrats on getting these BLUE ones sewn for the RSC!
More lovely blocks.
I always find I have plenty of blue.
