Blue Weekend & SMS Winner


The RSC13 color of the month is blue - royal blues.  I have a lot of blues, but to pull scraps in the 'royal' family was a bit tricky.  My 16" star block takes the biggest bits of fabric, so I did this block first.



My whimsy in my sprouts this time is my 'muse' fabric - I just love this block and can't wait to put them all together.  I am sure I will be adding more to size up this quilt.

To see what others made with their blue scraps this week, go here Saturday morning.


My mother, SIL, and I each pulled a name and the slips went in the cup for the draw of my Sew MaMa Sew Give Away - the cross stitch swans.


Anna McCurdy of Alberta Canada is the winner and I will be getting in touch with her.  Thank you all for visiting and participating.  And welcome to all the new followers.

I hope you all enjoy all Enjoy a wonderful Mother's Day Weekend - we are to have rain, so a great sewing weekend here.

Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

The blue star and sprouts blocks look great. I have lots of blue scraps, but not much in the sapphire range. This month will be a challenge.

Love your blue fabrics. The points and blocks in all your star blocks are always perfect. Sprout blocks are growing on me. I may steal your idea for next year.
