Oh Scrap! : Blue

Yay!  I was hoping that Angela over at SoScrappy would announce that blue was the color for July.

It could just be the time of year, but I have been thinking about making a red, white and blue quilt.

Remember these red 6" string blocks I made back in March?  Once I saw the color announcement for July, I dug out them out and thought I would see what I could make by adding some blue blocks into the mix.

I started out making a few 12' blocks.  Once I started playing with layouts on my design wall, I felt I needed a few 6" blue blocks.  Then things really got crazy and I made some 6 x 12" rectangles.

My next steps will be to incorporate some of these leftover patriotic fabrics into the project.  

I will share more once I get the rest of the blocks completed.  Right now I have a few layout options  in my mind and I might need your help choosing the final design.

Happy Scrap Quilting!
