The Quilting Blues

Happy, happy Saturday and a great big hello, ya'll!  How are you doing today?  Just a little bit of quilting has gone  on this week- not a lot.

  Worked on my Spring Chicks quilt.  It is in the hoop with one block quilted , but no, not finished.  Ohh! Maybe this  upcoming week. 

                                 

Yesterday evening, I realized that I needed to check  Angela's blog of So Scrappy to see what color is the month of April going to be for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Woo Hoo ! It is blue! 

                            " There are so many shades of  blues; 

                              Different tones and different hues....

                                What sort of blue are you?" 

I rushed to the Quilt Nest and pulled out a handful of scraps. 

Can I interest you in a pot of 1 1/2" squares? There are some blues in there. 

                   


How about a plate of chicken? 

                    

With my handful of scraps , I chose 2 blues and appliqued my little hen. 

Last month, I appliqued my green hen. I do need to go back and do catch up with a pink and yellow chicken. 



This was a short visit; wasn't it? But I am so happy you stopped by for a spell. I hope your weekend is filled with many blessings, and you are able to spend it with family and friends. Have a wonderful day and a very Happy Easter. And as always...

Happy quilting, ya'll
