Blue is the Colour

Blue..just "Blue"

is the colour of month for January over at SoScrappy and the first colour of RSC15.

When I first pulled the blue that I used for the centre it looked "blue" in the early morning light.
My first measure and to trim up the dog ears is to place the bias square on that 45 degree angle and then trim from there.


Back to "Blue"...However it is now past noon and it is indeed a darker/more purple shade of "blue" than the "blue" that I used for the Ohio Star Points. Oh well, I have the whole month to get my act together and find the right "blues" in the scrap bin. You can see what others choices (correct choices) some others have made over at RSC15.

 love and hugs
Kathy

  7. The colours work. Interesting goings on in the background fabric - music and confetti - looks like a party to me.

  9. Angela just wants us to use our scraps and have fun and is enabling us to do so! I think your block looks great. I will be using dark blue to make my churn dash blocks -- even if it's not the 'correct' blue, it's the 'right' blue for my blocks! ;-)
