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!

Grunge makes a great background for your stars. Wonderful blue scraps , but I don’t see any Penguins! Lol!

I like that dark blue one a lot! The contrast makes the star shine.

Linda said...

Love the blocks - your blue scraps are really pretty!

Love those stars. The blue contrast with the grunge background is great. Those are going to make such a fun quilt.

I will always prefer Grunge backgrounds to anything! Maybe I need to start another project using some dark blue Grunge??

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.

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

Look at all those pretty blue star blocks! Grunge as background is perfect.

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!

The blue blocks look great with their pink friends.

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//

Loving your star blocks for sure, such pretty blues you have.

Super blocks. And yes, the grunge works well as a background.
