The color for the month of January is BLUE! Not dark indigo/navy blue, not baby pastel blue, just regular middle of the road blue. We will not be segregating the greenish shades of blue this year, so feel free to mix them in at will. I was a little worried at first about the greenish tinges, but I think it is adding some nice variety to my blocks so far. The inspiration collection above is the blue package from the
Vicki Welsh Hand dyed snack pack. She sent one for me to use and one to giveaway. If you would like to be entered in the drawing for the blue fabric collection, please leave a comment on this post with your favorite word for blue. Mine is cerulean!
Ocean! Any given day the blue ocean will be a different blue/green color.
ReplyDeleteAquamarine & oceans.
ReplyDeleteVery peaceful and at times wild.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU.

ReplyDeleteHow about misty blue? Are we just supposed to pick our colors right now? This is my first time to do this.
ReplyDeleteAlso, how much background fabric do we need?
Thank you,
Pam

ReplyDeleteI love blue, in any shade, but turquoise is my favourite, Helen
ReplyDeleteTurquoise for me. It became my 2nd favorite color in 2014. Really looking forward to participating this year.
ReplyDeleteBlue is my favourite colour of all time. Sky is my word for blue.
ReplyDeleteSapphire for me, with cobalt a close second. Those blues just sound pretty. Most blues are great, and so versatile. Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteI went looking in my crayon box for "blue". It took me 3 tries. I found cornflower and cerulean first. I thought blue would have been, well, bluer. I looks quite a greyish blue, to me. Indigo is my favorite name for blue.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Happy New Year
When I think of blue I think of the sky and the lyrics "I see skies of blue and clouds of white, the bright blessed day, the dark sacred night, and I think to myself what a wonderful world" I think my favorite blue might be sapphire blue! I can't wait to start my rainbow scrap challenge!!
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first time doing this challenge, I'm hoping a good way to keep me on track. My favourite word for blue is 'eyes'. If that doesn't count, then teal.
ReplyDeleteI love Azure. This will be fun. I started rsc14 in June of last year and had to catch up. Glad to begin at the beginning this year!! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteAqua is a new favorite shade of blue for me.
ReplyDeleteSapphire. I love the gem and it's rich blue hue.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Angela!
Blue's agreat colour to start with - I have plenty of them. I love all blues but espcially the cornflower types. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteMine would have to be sapphire. Jewel tones are my favorites. I'm looking forward to another great year of scrappy quilts.
ReplyDeleteCornflour, the colour of my eldest son's eyes. Happy new year to you all.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of what I call "country blue" in my stash. I know there is another name for it like cornflower, but I call it country blue. Loving the first block for 2015-- whirling geese. Thanks again for organizing the RSC15 for everyone.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color word for blue is Royal or Royale! It always adds a touch of richness to a project.
ReplyDeleteSapphire! Love the gem, love the color!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I join the RSC and it begins with one my favorite colour: sapphire! It is how people describe my eyes colour so I am kind of leaning towards that word but my heart leans toward denim blue and faded jeans and everything in between. ;^)
ReplyDeleteAs a blue eyed lady with many blue eyed friends, I think blue brings me JOY! The saw tooth sampler will be so fun to make. Thank you for the ideas!
ReplyDeleteI am a Navy Blue person :)

ReplyDeleteI'm gonna go with sapphire...ya gotta love the "phire" part of the word (fire to some people) for the energy.
ReplyDeleteOh that makes me think... usually I just use blue.... Indigo is one of my favorites though.
ReplyDeleteI love periwinkle, the flowers are delicate and a beautiful shade of blue.
ReplyDeleteRobin's egg is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI must admit blue is on of my least favorte colors... so a word to describe my favorite blue would be denim. Soft faded denim like a my favorite old jeans.
ReplyDeleteI'm also very fond of turquoise....
My favorite blue is teal. I like a blue that goes more to the greenish side. I've been adding a lot more soft teal color to my house, and I really like it.

ReplyDeletePeriwinkle is my favorite. kthurn@bektel.com
ReplyDeleteMy favourite blue is Royal; strong and bright, with Kingfisher close second.

Azure is my favourite blue - it reminds of the beautiful Caribbean sea. I hope to do better with the RSC this year!
ReplyDeleteI'm finally remembering to come in and check the color. I will get my hexagons out and see what I have in just blue.
