Since Blue is the RSC color for February - It was time to dig into my blue scraps. Funny enough , when you take the Blues out of the scrap bin... the lid closes. Apparently I use A LOT of blue in my quilting!
I googled Blue - There is a lot out there as to what Blue means - But I likes this one:
"Cool, Calm and Collected:
Renowned for its composed demeanor, blue is a tranquil presence. It doesn’t intrude or pester. Instead, it merely makes itself known. In terms of the psyche, the color blue is known to impact the mind positively. Blue represents patience and understanding, which is why we feel so comfortable around it. When overwhelming emotions consume us, we’re encouraged to decompress with the color blue. It’s also commonly associated with the ocean, which further highlights its soothing essence."
Also - in my search it said that Blue Thrives on Organization. ... I wonder how stressed BLUE feels in my house - there is not a lot of organization going on this month!
I started to organize by size - and then decided it was just a better idea to start making my crumb blocks - I thought (seriously) I could get at least 10 out of the scraps....
Not really sure I have made a dent in the pile - but this is where I am as of the moment. Oh boy!!!
Blue!! Blue has a complimentary color of ORANGE
A TRIAD of Yellow and RED .. I am pondering if I want to add any of those to the mix - or stay with Blue.... its a conundrum!

I like your blue crumbs. Is that an X-box console holding down your fabrics? :D
Your crumb blocks look great. I spy some red having already made it's way into many of the blocks (just in case you are still pondering adding other colors into the mix)!! ;)
Blue must be so stressed in my stash that it's ready for a total meltdown. I use blue so much. Your crumb blocks look awesome. I just can't get into making crumb blocks even though I like the results.
Great crumb blocks. . .I like the thought of adding yellow and red!!!
I love blues!!!! Don't mess it up with other colors this time!
Blue abounds at your house. You know I love crumb blocks! Blue does go with orange, just ask Bo Nix.
Nice! The white stars print really shines!
Blue is my biggest set of scraps. You've got some fun ones to play with. Hopefully the bin is a bit emptier after all your crumb stitching.
Great blocks!
I vote for staying with blue and adding white sashing. Lovely!

Lovely blocks! Crumb piecing is so peaceful, perfect for using blue! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
