It has been a busy week.
I've been trying to land those Aliens!.
I did find some time to work on
some blues and I have a lot of it.
Oh and did I add the blizzard?
And the batting pick up? And the airport run?
I am planning to catch up on all the months
of rainbow scraping by making a rainbow
row quilt with crumb strips of each monthly colour.
A visit to the block bank and I hit pay dirt!!
I even found my layout plan from March 2019 ,
along with some orange parts from a Staircase quilt.
The paper used for foundation was still attached.
The meat flyer! Look at that turkey!
A white strip complementing all the colours
should make it a success.
Blue ones are in progress so that's a good start.
I really liked the look of the horizontal quilting on
Blues for Brothers so this
will be a good repeat of that plan.
I also found this great little pattern from McCall's 2006.
It definitely has potential.
A co-worker out East is having a baby boy
in a few months so it's a perfect time
to raid the block bank and make a
blue coloured quilt for the new arrival.
Three more blue family square and the top
will be complete.
These little 1 ½” inch blue strip sets left over
from a long ago colour wash quilt needed a purpose.
There are so many! They should work well as
a border around the colour blocks.
Here is a little mock-up! It really works!
A little border of white and then 1 ½” inch blue
strip sets followed by a saucy
blue binding really does the trick!
Off we go into the wild blue yonder!
Stay safe and sew on!
