RSC25: February - blue

It's the first weekend of RSC25 February - BLUE

I'm starting with batik uneven 9-patch blocks this month.

As I was rummaging through my BLUE stash tub, I unearthed a complete bundle of blue coordinated pairs that I pulled last year for RSC and never got to.  (Each one of these has a companion 'light' folded inside of it.) Maybe this year I'll move ahead with these fabrics ...

And I did go back and piece two more of the PINK disappearing rail blocks that I started last week.  

They are successful and interesting, so I've decided that my target will be five blocks from each month's challenge color to end up with a 5 x 7 layout.  At 10" each, 35 blocks will give me a nice lap-size donation quilt.

Those blue fabrics are gorgeous! I'm not sure which I like best - the oblong 9-patches or the disappearing rails. Both are awesome blocks and make me want to run right down to my sewing room and make some of each.

Those disappearing rails are great. You've got me pondering a possible 2026 RSC quilt. I'll be curious to see what you do with these.

My thoughts as well!

That's a great pattern you are stitching each month, and a wonderful bunch of blues waiting their turn.
