This weekend I put together another blue herringbone baby quilt top. First I had to dig into my blues to find a couple more pieces of dark and medium fabric. While I had the scrap box dumped I decided to go thru it and do a bit of sorting and cutting. I now have a stack of 4 1/2" squares, 3 1/2" squares, 2 1/2" squares, 2 1/4" squares, and a pile of 3" strips.
The 3" strips will be married up with a solid strip to make a block like this
which I will turn into step zig zag quilts like this
After I spent 5 - 6 hours on this I put the remaining blue scraps back in the bin and I didn't even look like I had taken any out LOL!!! This is going to be a long term commitment, but I will be happy just to put a dent in my pile.
Here is the second blue herringbone top I got sewn together. I call this herringbone columns and used columns of dark blues and medium blues. Not a real strong contrast, but I like the way it came out.

I watched his clip on YouTube. He's really talented! I hope he gets lots of great opportunities from this.
It was fun to see your nephew perform after hearing so much about him. I hope the prize money will give him a boost in his career.
I like the medium and dark blues. It reminds me of blue jeans.
I think I like the blues more than the pinks!
