More with blue...

This week I stitched up the light blue 16 patch star that I cut the pieces for a few weeks ago.


That got me to thinking - could I come up with enough dark blues to make one of these blocks?  And, sure enough, I could!

I'll need twenty of these 12 inch finished blocks for a quilt 48 x 60,
so two blocks a month are needed!

I finished up by making a few more quarter star blocks in blue, too.


And then, just for fun, laid them out with their pink friends!

I am liking the blue Grunge background!

  8. Oh how lovely, Diann. Blue and pink do play well together. The dark grunge fabric is gorgeous. I look forward to seeing this quilt grow. Happy Saturday. Hugs.

  9. You have been busy! I like both your star projects. The 1/4 stars are so cool. Do they make a 12” square also?

  11. Pink and blue is such a pleasing combo (my SAHRR is that with burgundy in the mix). I think I should do your 16-patch stars, as I have WAY too many squares in 2.5" - 3.5" sizes. These are 3.5 I think, yes? I invariably end up with more than one RSC project!

  14. Loving your blue scrappy star blocks. Isn't it fun to just dig in and see what comes out of the bin? Working on some scrappy placemats this month, and starting to think about a change of direction. https://stitchinggrandma.wordpress.com//

  17. You can't go wrong with stars and blue. I can envision a sky filled with those offset stairs in the 16 patch block.
