This is my third year participating in an annual declutter challenge by Just Get It Done Quilts, which requires sometime in managing Mount Scrapmore. While gathering all of my scraps from all nooks and crannies in my sewing studio, it was obvious that I have worked with a lot of blues over the years. I saw a very simple block on Pinterest, which I thought would make a lovely quilt using one color, and based on what I have on hand, that color is blue. Please feel free to use all shades using any prints, but please steer away from teals. The neutrals should be any off-whites or creams. The above is a sample of some of my blues and the following is a sample of my neutrals.
Cut nine strips from various blues 2.5” inches by 7” inches. Then subcut each strip to make a matching set of one 2-1/2” inch square and a 4.5” x 2.5” inch rectangle.
Cut 9 neutral 2.5” inch x 2.5” inch squares.
Lay out the blocks in rows. Sew three rows and then join the rows together. You should end up with a 12.5” inch x 12.5” inch block.
