Squared Away for January

I got started on my Squared Away blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge this week by pulling out some leftover Kona White, a bit of some light blue Pearl Bracelets, and this bunch of swirly, dotty squares that I had cut for another project a long time ago and had never used.


Perfect for making two 8 inch (7.5 inches finished) blocks to get me started on this year's sampler quilt!


Along the way, I also finished up my dark blue 10 inch rail fence block - 


and made 25 little 2.5 inch rails for the light/medium blue block. 


These little bits are waiting by the sewing machine for the next step!

Looking forward to seeing what other scrappy quilters have been doing with their blue bits this week at ScrapHappy Saturday over at SoScrappy!

    Good looking RSC projects! Especially love the sampler block. I need to get crackin' on the sampler before the next block is released.

    Excellent blocks! The Squared Away Sampler looks like it's going to be a lot of fun!
    Those rails are beautiful, too. So much movement from such a simple block!

    You have some gorgeous blue scraps! So nice that you were able to re-purpose some that were already cut for a previous project.

    What a concept. Carefully laid out quilt blocks. I'm not allowed to do that here.
