Rainbow Scrap Challenge - feeling BLUE


I have joined the Rainbow Scrap Challenge that Angela from superscrappy.blogspot.com is hosting.  Sorry I don't know how to do all the fancy links and had to cut and paste the button above - will get there eventually, just not yet.  Anyway I have at least started the challenge which is within my technical limits.
this month's colour is BLUE so i pulled out my blue scraps and started sewing!
Twelve blocks later this is what I have.  They are very random and still have to be trimmed to size.  They will be nine and a half inches.  The problem is that I still have too many blue scraps leftover but I have used up most of the strips so I think I will cut some of the remainder into strips and sew a few more blocks as these twelve aren't quite enough for a quilt.  the cream centres were also scraps and they just happened to be the colour I had 12 of so I will look again and see what other squares I have in multiple colours that I think will be suitable and they will be the next lot of centres.

It is going to be really hot here today so I will be inside in the aircon sewing - today's task is to pin and quilt a gift for my girlfriend who is having my son to stay for a week's holiday in Perth.  He leaves on the 6th so finishing it is a priority.  So now I am off to layer, pin, quilt and then bind - see you!
Happy stitching!

    I love your blue log cabin squares! Isn't it fun to see what can come from the scraps? Good luck finding enough to turn it into a quilt.
