Scrap Saturday RSC16 The Last of the Blues

It's really not the last of the blues for me.  Blues and greens are more than double in my scrap totes than any other colors.  I should sort them by lights, mediums, and darks.  But these are the last of the blue BLOCKS this month for the RSC16.


I managed to finish the blue blocks needed for the borders for Folk Art Birds from Kathy Doughty's book, Making Quilts.

What I can show you is that I worked on these blocks.  I got the pattern from Tamarack Shack.  It's called the Low Volume Plus Sew Along.  Yes, I didn't need another sew along, but it worked so well with what I am working on.  Here's some of the blue plus blocks I made with misc. neutrals for the backgrounds.  It will be my 2016 scrap project for It All ADDS UP! #APQQuiltalong.

What I can't show you is the awesome Soul Searching block that I made for my besty on the other side of the USA.  (I'm in Ohio -- She's in California).  Julianne blogs at Quilting With Calicos .  We found each other through QA's and such.  This year we decided to do a whole quilt top and then swap the tops in the end.  It's one of the blocks that we are making for the RSC16, but we won't post the big reveal until our tops have been swapped.

I loved this quilt when I first saw the idea of it on Kevin the Quilter's blog here, in September 2013.

Here's a link to the book by Kathy Doughty:
