ScrapHappy Saturday -- Still Feeling Blue?

I had SO many blue scraps that I started out by sorting them into three piles.  Baby blue, regular blue, and indigo blues.  Then I stuck the light and dark piles back into bags to think about later and nicely ironed the regular blues.  I trimmed what I could into 1.5, 2 and 2.5 inch strips and squares and then tossed the rest into crumbs or strings.  So many fun blocks are hiding in these piles.  Can't wait to start playing.  I've seen lots of beautiful blue blocks coming out so far.  It is one of those colors that tries to take over the stash and the scrap basket.  I hope everyone is making a dent and taming the piles.
Just in case you need some more blue fabric to play with, I've done the random drawing for January's hand dyed blue fabric from Vicki Welsh.  There were 102 comments on the color announcement post!  A brand new record for sure.  Thanks to the kind folks at Random.org, Pamela Arbour is the lucky winner this month.  She is new to the challenge, which is great.  Welcome!  Pamela, please e-mail me directly with your snail mail, and I will ship off your envelope.

I'll be sewing tomorrow, today I'm at school with this basket of toys so the kids can prepare for science olympiad next weekend.  So many fun things they could build.

    Both of our boys participated in Science Olympiad - older son went to the state level with his egg drop . . . he's in his 30s now, but still loves to tell some of the stories!

    Congrats to the winner. It's interesting because I don't have many blues. It's not a colour I use lots of. Don't know why, just never much pick it out when shopping for material. I'm starting to really enjoy using it though so may have to make a trip to the quilt shop later in the year (if not sooner).

    Love your big collection of blue scraps! Thank you for taking on another year of the RSC. This will be my forth year playing along. I'm behind on your sampler stars but hope to catchup this week.

    I had fun with this week's block and I can see some variation that could be applied. My block is one of those variations.How I did it I don't know but it happened. It is all fun learning.

    This link up has a ton of blue projects and blocks to enjoy! I'm just back from a work conference, so I'm behind a wee bit, especially in terms of having fun in the sewing room!

    I have lots of blues too, that set of scraps just seems to grow on it's own.

    got my first blues done and posted on my blog, despite outages of internet coverage because the tower was damaged in a storm, bit of nail biting waiting to see if my post was lost. I see now the linky thing has gone on this post, and don't understand the message about being platinum and upgrading?

    Guys, how do you feel about LGBT destinations? What do you think about non-traditional sexual orientation in men and women? I think that's okay and even recently found a cool read review site about gay slang. It's interesting and who wants to see it too, be sure to check out this blog. Good luck!
