Singing the blues
I've just finished my second top using up blue scraps for this month's Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Having just enough left to make a rather small centre I decided to have a go at making some letters to go around the border, using Tonya Ricucci's new book. I enjoyed making the letters, they were more straightforward than I'd expected, but I'm not overly happy with some of my fabric choices. Some of the contrasts are too low so you can't see the letters all that well. And I've just noticed that I've put one of the borders on the wrong way round. Bother and Drat!

I love the idea you had for your border. That book looks really interesting, I may just have to buy that when pay pay comes round in a couple of weeks :)
I think it's lovely Amanda, I love blue!
What a great border! We are always our own worst critics. I think the letters turned out fabulous. Especially considering that it was your first try at free pieced letters. Careful though, you will be thinking of words for lots of quilts now.
Fantastic! I love the border and using "blue" words ... truly inspired. You really are an artistic quilter!
Now that was fast! Love the border!
I do believe that border really takes the whole thing up a giant notch. It's absolutely gorgeous!
Once again you have inspired me.I have one question; what do you consider scraps and what do you consider stash ?
You have inspired me once again. However I have one question; how do you define scraps vs stash ?
Trendy and colorful!
Oh my goodness - that is AMAZING! And you made it so quick! You got me so excited to get working on some letters!
Looks great and I hope you had a good Xmas & new year
Oh my WORDS Batman! ;0)
Your SECOND finish for the year---you go girl!
Amazing!
You have been really creative with your blues. Wow, 2 great quilt tops and your folder cover. By the end of the year your scraps will be taking up very little space.
WOW, it's wonderful. Great job.
