RSC16 -- June Blues

This month the color is blue!  What a great time to get caught up on my 2016 Quilt Doodle Designs BOM scrappy Christmas quilt that I am doing in all blues!  Here's the progress I made this week (except one of the trees that I did months ago):



I also started a new leader/ender project because I got a new Accuquilt die.  It's number 55396, 3.5" (3" finished) hourglass.  I really like it!  Here's two blues for this week and I finished up the greens that were scraps on my desk.



These blocks are for the quilt of the cover of 2011 Sew Scrappy Magazine.


I'm linking up with Angela's blog, SoScrappy for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, 2016 (RSC16).Check out what all the others made this week.

A nice idea to make a Christmas quilt in blue, instead of the ever present red and green! Your hourglass quilt will be finished in no time.

Great hourglass blocks. Fun Christmas quilt underway, too (like Marly, I like the wintry blues - they extend the useful season, too)

The hourglass quilt is going to be very pretty. Have fun making the blocks.

Great idea with the hourglass quilt as leader & enders. Beautiful blues for your Christmas Quilt. Have a wonderful weekend!

The blue holiday blocks are so cool. I really like those blue trees. A very fun leaders and enders project. You'll definitely use up lots of scraps.

just found your comment and it wasn't in my email. gmail doesn't like to get all of them or blogger doesn't send them one. If i don't comment back just know i didn't get it.
When i get on my blog i will come over and leave one for you.

Love the blue blocks. Those mittens make me smile.
Such a pretty hourglass quilt. It will look great with your scraps.

Great way to keep cool working with the blue wintery blocks. The hour glass blocks will come together so quickly as leader enders. Good plan.

I love your wintery blue Christmas blocks!
Using those hourglasses for leader/enders is an absolutely perfect idea!

Great leader and ender project. I love having two quilts going at once too.
