Blue Scrappy Saturday -

My week was ho-hum!  It's been warm and wonderful in the weather department, but my sewing was minimal. I did get 3 light/bright blue Bow tie blocks cut and sewn together. I drafted a layout, so I would know how many of each color I needed. I only need 6 blue blocks and I made 3 in June in the navy/dark blue hue.

Don't you love the monkey with the guitar?

I do need to dig through my scraps for some more black. I don't want duplicate fabrics, and I have 5 black blocks made and need 8. It takes a larger chunk to get 2- 4.5" squares and 2 - 2.5" squares out of just one fabric. I may have to go rogue and mix the colored squares up!



I did start on a new project toward the end of the week. It's a baby quilt for a great great niece?  ( Mr Busy's sister's granddaughter is having a baby girl)  The new momma's mother and father are absent from her life, so my SIL has been there for her. She is an engineer in Montana. Doesn't want any thing "too girly", so this is the fabric I chose. Feminine but not too girly, I think. I'll get the top done this week, then off to the long arm quilter! Baby is due in early October!

Just some of the blocks from the pattern called Wiggle by Cynthia Brunz at Quilting is more fun than Housework! The background seems kind of dark, but I wanted the "wiggle" blocks to pop!  Have not picked a backing yet!

I'm linking up to Scrap Happy Saturday.  So hop on over and check out all the scrappy goodness!

I'll be back next week too!

Stay Busy and Stay Happy
