Blue Design Wall

The Blue Wall is growing.  You can really tell how tiny the crosses are against the 4 1/2" star blocks. I made the Sparkle Punch last year using a solid light gray background.  This year, I am using scrappy off white, beige and tan --- and will make it scraps for the points.  Several more blue star points are cut out, but I am making them as leaders and enders so it is coming along slowly.  With three days off, lots of sewing will be going on.

The Blue wall is for the 2014 Rainbow Challenge hosted by Angela at So Scrappy.

I finished the Red/Black/White "Samantha Claire" from a new pattern published by Black Cat Creations. More detail on the right side of the screen.

And, I finished quilting the little quilt above in time for delivery to a very sick friend.

I am linking up with Judy at Patchwork Times for her Design Wall Monday, again so glad to have something this week.

Yellow Bling!

I could not just show the yellow stars for the So Scrappy Rainbow Challenge, so I pulled out the others and played with them on the wall.  As each color is added, I have to rearrange anyway, so taking it on/off is fun.

Be sure to visit the other sites participating in the Rainbow Challenge -- the block stashes are growing!

A Green Kind of a Day!

First thing I did was pull out my favorite box and remove all of the greens.  A couple of years ago, we swapped gifts at our annual Guild Christmas Party.  Martha fixed up this wonderful box of 2 1/2" goodies.  This gift continues to be one of my favorite things.  The box never runs low.  I am always adding a few and taking a few.  I am now ready for the month of April.

The first set of green blocks to finish up -- the green stars.  I am more in love with this pattern since adding the pinks from the first month and the bright greens.  The background is a light Kona gray.
