A few years ago when Blue was the Color I dug through my 30's repro fabrics and made some blocks.... and so....
I dug through those blocks and this is up on the Design wall
If all goes my way - it will be a top by the end of the month. I think that I will keep it up until I actually start stitching on it - and I even have and idea for borders!! Whoop Whoop
The Sew Me Blog had the pattern, and I fell in love with it
Here it is: Sew Me: Bee Blessed Pattern
And here is one that I did with my Purple Blocks
And on to a finish. My Friend Janet passed away a few years ago, and her husband asked if My Friend and I could help him finish some of her quilts. So this is a table runner she had made - I quilted it -AND!!! Bound it!! can't wait to take it back to him....
My kids are still on break and I love it ! Plus I have more help, so surprisingly even thought I have to cook a thousand gatrillions pounds of food - they do chores ;-)

Oh Scrap!
Love your blue blocks! Hope you get them turned into a quilt be the end of the year.
ReplyDeleteI love your blue quilt, thanks for the link! Now I just need to figure out how to add the pinterest button again-new computer!
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty blues!! Love what you have done with your blue scraps.
ReplyDeleteI love your scrappy blue blocks. I have seen the block on Missouri Star Quilts but happy you reminded me of it. Thanks for inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThat blue quilt will be wonderful. Such a sweet gift you are giving your friend's husband finishing the table runner. It turned out great.
ReplyDeleteYour blue blocks are great! Hooray for being able to make enough blocks for a quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove those blues! Thanks for the link--I see an easy scrappy quilt in my future!
ReplyDeleteHi Alycia,
ReplyDeleteI had to giggle at your title! I hope you are not feeling blue but just enjoying the blue ue ue in your quilt. HAHA! Thanks for sharing the pattern for the block and quilts - looks like a fun one to make should I be in a blue ue ue mood. How nice of you and your friend to finish up some quilts of Janet's. I'll bet her husband will really treasure that table runner, and use it all the time. I know I sure would. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
What a cool design on your Blue scrappy quilt. The tablerunner is beautiful. Your friends husband will love it. That is such a wonderful thing you are doing.
ReplyDeleteOh that's so pretty! I love the 30's fabrics in blue, they're just so very soft and sweet!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, the blue blocks are so pretty together! Very nice of you to help finish her quilts for him. I know it's always a poignant pleasure when I've worked on one of my cousin's projects.
ReplyDeleteHooray for kids who do chores... and BLUE blocks for a (practically) ready-made RSC quilt!!! :o))
ReplyDeleteI was all excited about the blues blocks and then I got to the end.....your kids do chores????? please have your kids call my kids lol. Sounds like a great start to 2018
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty new project. Good for you, new year, new project. I imagine if there were hamburger patties waiting in the fridge, your handsome crew would be capable of cooking them AND doing chores. Even if there's snow on the ground, the grill still works, right!
ReplyDeleteA very fun project to kick off this year's RSC effort. It's nice having all the help isn't it. We get one more week with our college girl. It's nice to have someone who can run to the grocery store for you!
ReplyDeleteThose are great blocks for the scrappy blues! I especially love the pattern the white squares make!
ReplyDeleteWay to go! I thought you had used up and finished off all your 30s fabrics. I love those blocks and thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the extra help no matter the cost! They disappear to help spouses all too soon!
And I'll bet Mr. Janet will love the table runner.
What a great quilt this will be! Thank goodness you rescued it from the pile!
ReplyDeletePretty, pretty quilts! What a nice block and the possibilities!!
ReplyDeleteGreat to find the blocks. Will be a nice quilt. Good and pretty way to use scraps in an organized way!
ReplyDeleteThis block is a favorite of mine. Great way to sew up all those colorful strips. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite blocks! It is a great one for using up all those colorful strips. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteThe blue quilt is beautiful. May you finish it this month.
ReplyDeleteThat runner is lovely. I am sure Janet's family will be grateful. Kids who do chores??? Now, that is magical!!!
That's a great quilt pattern. How nice that you were able to finish your friend's runner. It looks great. Thanks for linking up with TGIFF.
