Adding Blue

 

Okay, I think that's enough variety of blues for the last ingredients of this block. The quilt and pattern designer, Bonnie K. Hunter calls this a Lupine Star. That sounds like a good name to me. While I was cutting out the blue pieces I  tried to cut from mainly the lightest blues I had been working with for this quilt. So they're not all different as the pink block centers are, but I don't think that will matter too much once the other block that makes up this quilt gets added in-between.

Twenty-five Squares

I only managed to cut out the twenty-five 1.5" pink squares for the Lupine mystery quilt today. The good news is that I was able to get the majority of them cut out of the scraps I've been collecting as I've been going through all the clues which was easier than wrangling big pieces of fabric to cut out that tiny square.

At least I pinned them up with the block units they'll be going into on the design wall. 

Next up, the blue sashing that will go in-between the four block units. I cut out three block's worth to see how it looks. hmmm. Not too sure about that dark one.

Back to Kitty Ears

 

Today I got back to work in my sewing room, and I finished cutting out all of the pieces to complete the "kitty ears" for the Lupine Mystery quilt. 

They are all ready to get sewn together into the fifteen sets of four I have left to make. It's nice to work with the blue and white combination, I kind of got tired of all the pink and purple.
