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!
What a cheeky squirrel, he got you stitching those pretty blocks. I love your cups, that looks a fun block.
I like the fussy cut 'bits'. They go so well with the scrappy look overall.
The squirrel pushed you in the right direction!
Nice start on your BLUE blocks, Astrid, and I love your new scrappy blocks! If the sizes match, that will be a great pairing for your 36-Patch blocks. Happy quilting!
Cute, cute cups! And the mountain is beautiful!
Great choice of blocks for the RSC challenge.
The cups are so cute.
Your mug blocks are so precious! How big did they end up? I really like them! Your other blocks are so creative – a great idea for mini charms! Thank you for sharing!
You are doing a great job with your challenges. The tea cups are super cute.
I keep wanting to do something with fussy cutting and never seem to get to it.
I'm looking forward to seeing your cups in the Top... maybe you have to sew a lot more?
The fog on the beautiful mountain looks wonderful... nice photo.
Kind regards to you.
Have fun sewing and other beautiful things. Hug from Viola
