Sorting the Blues

I separated the blues by "colour" this week.


And there are still more bags to go through. Two are on the bed (aqua) and one with multicoloured prints with blue as the background.
If you are wondering why the splashes of colour on the wall, it wasn't done to empty cans of paint. It is an actual mural done for my son a long time ago. I might have shown this wall before but whatever.
The design was taken from the bed cover he had back then. 

Anywho! I digress. 

Double Halo Star is progressing at a slow pace but progressing nonetheless. 

Fabrics were picked out and cut. 

Worked with the black and white parts...

and some assembling has started. 

The Double Tulips blocks also progressed a bit. 


Auditioning some fabrics for the top parts is the next task. I want these to be done before the end of this weekend. 

Crumb blocks and 9 Patches are in no shape to be photographed yet. So, that's all I have for now. 

Enjoy!

C'est tout, mais c'est déjà beaucoup ! Tu as une belle variété de bleus pour t'amuser, et les blocs pour la Double Halo Star ont bien progressé. Jolies ces petites tulipes, le tissu rose est très beau, et j'aime beaucoup les feuilles de celle de gauche !

All progress is good progress, no matter how big or how small! The mural on your son's wall is really neat. Did you paint it?

That's some serious sorting, Chantal! Good luck with the sewing.

I'll bet it was a challenge to make the mural look 'casual' -- kind of like trying to make wonky patchwork when your brain is still in precision piecing mode.

Blues are always fun to work with!

Small progress but progress non the less! Enjoy. xx

I sure like your fabric choices for your double tulip blocks. The stem fabrics are so fun! I'm starting on my blue blocks for RSC today. . . .

Sorting, pressing, sizing, combining - it all takes time. You are off to a great start with your blues.

Pretty blocks and the mural is wonderful. Did you paint it?

You got a fair bit done, there is always lots of time needed for finding fabric and preparing it....
Love seeing the bit of mural, what a fun room'
