Happy February!
Where did January go?!
February; it means a new RSC (Rainbow Scrap Color). Angela at SuperScrappy has chosen BLUE for this month.
I'll make maybe two or three more.
I didn't expect the squirrel to visit! It was good in a way, I needed a short break from quilting ten place mats for a customer.
This is what the squirrel got me to do:

5 scrappy blocks using pink (January RSC color) in the center.

...and three blue.
Do you see the pink and blue cats?
I got to use a few more pink (5" squares trimmed to 4.5"), a variety of 2.5" squares and bits and pieces of white and cream. Everything counts to reduce stash!
Does this block have a name?
My idea is to use these together with some of the 36-patches I've already made.
UFO / WIPs #2 - UFO list 2025
I have made so many 36-patches using 2.5" squares, now I'm running out of variety. I had a lot from swaps (all used up after making bed quilts!) as well as my own cut squares. I have cut squares from 1.5" to 5". This was March 2016, and I'm happy to say quite a lot has been used!

This photo was shot a few evenings ago. Fog rolls in at Corps de Garde mountain.
I never get tired of watching clouds / fog, especially during the rainy- and cyclone season when it can be quite impressive.

Love the cats' blocks;))) Novelties are such fun to sew with. I used up most, if not all of mine, making grandkids' quilts. We had fog roll up our hill from the ocean all day yesterday--i also like seeing it swirl around...but today is yet another gray day...i need me some sunshine!!:000

Lovely post Astrid. I enjoy seeing what you are stitching and love the variety. Neat photo of fog too. Are you in summer there?
What a lovely fog photo! I'm sure that I would also never tire of seeing the changes in the scenery. The cups are cute, and those scrappy blocks will make a wonderful quilt.
the fog makes for a pretty scene. Love the way you have used your scraps
Love those coffee cup blocks! Both the cups and your scrappy blocks are great for featuring a fussy cut piece in the center. That's a beautiful photo of the foggy mountain!
