Last call for the Blues

For the viewers visiting my blog via Grow Your Blog 2015, you might want to read this post. Be sure to say "Hi" in order to participate in the giveaway. 





For the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2015, blue fabric was called for the month of January. So this morning, I worked on my Blue blocks as this my last chance to finish them up.


Seven blue blocks were made this month.  I am very happy with that. Love the secondary diamond this pattern makes.

February's colour is Pink!   I don't have pink in my scrap bins so I pulled some out of the stash.


Well the stash is not overflowing with Pink either! Four of these are in. The two on the right hand side are pending. Pending I find something better.

I also have to prepare the fabric for the next row on my hexi quilt so I pulled these out. Plenty of ironing to do today.



Hope you have fun in your sewing paradise too.

Until next time ...  enjoy!

;^)

I am crazy for pinwheels and love that block. Does it have a name or is there a pattern online for it?
