RSC26 True Blue Sew Along

I fluffed through more navy and neutral scraps to make the third set of blocks for the True Blue Sew Along.  These are just the centers of the blocks.  They will be set on point in the quilt with scrappy neutral and blue strips.  True Blue Sew Along--American Patchwork and Quilting --you can get the details here.

The original pattern called for a 4-patch center of smaller blue blocks.  I didn't really like that look so I used a single block of that size.  

All of the corners require four strips that are strip pieced.  All pieces are cut.  Only a few are sewn together.  This project is moving right along.

Here are all the strips covered with the blue and cream Zip It Sew Along blocks in progress:

I chain pieced along and five rows are made.  I'll probably do 10 or 12 rows.  We shall see.  This is not necessarily the order the rows will go.  The fourth row needs a block taken off the top and one added to the bottom so that the pieces land correctly.  Easy fix.  No school for me or our kid on Friday due to teacher personal development day.  I got busy on sewing rows together.

And yes, you can tell through the dirty window that all that white stuff is on the ground outside.  The feels like is negative 3 during this pic on Thursday after school.  A few cold days are predicted during the next five days or so.  We shall see.  Looks like good sewing weather to me.
