RSC23 - week #1 of blue

Isn't it fun to start a new color at the beginning of a month?  Thank you to Angela for hosting the Rainbow Scrap Challenge each year!  The main blue project I worked on this week was finishing the Snowflake pillow that I posted about yesterday.  

I did play with other blue projects this week too.  There are several on-going block sets happening around here that will eventually become quilts.  And I've "fluffed up" the blue scraps so the bin looks more full than it did before.  

A few of these 4.5" blocks have been added to the box for the Small Hearts quilt.  When there is a good assortment of colors again, then I'll get the next couple of vertical rows sewn.  

I had mostly depleted the heart blocks I made in 2022 in the first 4 rows.  But there is no rush with finishing this quilt, so the heart collection will keep accumulating each month.

A few pyramid blocks were made too.  These have scrappy backgrounds - some white, some beige/tan/cream, some neutral prints.  I didn't count, but I think there are about 30 of these blocks hanging in the closet. They are 12" tall, but I want to make a big quilt with them, so will need more.

A couple of the scrappy Irish Chain blocks were added.  I have 2 rows of these blocks sewn together already and have enough blocks for 2 more rows.  The blocks finish at 8".

And 1 new Stashbuster block (from Border Creek Stations) joined the first 2 test blocks I made last fall.  This was their 2022 stashbuster challenge block, and finishes at 10".  There is a new block for their 2023 challenge, and patterns from previous years' challenges.  The patterns are free, and the new block for 2023 has instructions for 3 different sizes.
