RSC16 Sampler - Blues

Kicking off the new year with a new scrappy sampler hosted by Angela at SoScrappy.  January's color is blues and she picked a pretty star block to showcase the blues.  This year we're adding a splash of a 2nd color, a great way to perk up the blocks.  Here is my batch.


DH really liked this block.  I took much fuss while picking out the fabric combos and tried not to have too many repeats.  I'm linking up with Angela at Soscrappy today where you can see what everyone is making with their blue scraps this week.

Sunday I'm linking up with Cynthia of Quilting is More Fun Than Housework blog for the "Oh Scrap" party.  Visit there to find the inspiration that other quilters are sharing today.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

    You've done a really nice job with the stars, with just the right touches of purple on the diagonal. Keep up the good work!

    Your blocks came out great. I did mine this afternoon and boy, it took more time to pick the fabrics out then to sew. Love your splashes of purple in the blocks.

    These are properly gorgeous. I like the balance of blue and purple - they all look very icy and delicate.
