Here are some blue patches in many forms from bitcoin to 16 patches to truncated bitcoin. And happily, this week I finished in time to join the Rainbow Scrappy Challenge.
And sometimes progress can be made with unpatching in blue. In this case, the roofers came and I no longer have blue tarps on my roof.
Here's the backyard now. The house will be getting its rain gutters next week. And the garden is in a bit of shock going from a partial shade garden to being totally covered in tree debris to being a full sun garden. I'm in a bit of shock myself too because my stash is now a full sun stash as well. Molly does not approve of window coverings, so I am going with stash coverings until I come up with a better idea.
Yeah for no more blue tarps. Progress is awesome!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a finished roof, and good riddance to blue tarps! You have such gorgeous scraps in your blocks. Love the truncated bitcoin.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bits of Light and Bright BLUE, Sally!!
ReplyDeleteWow - that’s a lot of lovely blue sewing to match those blue skies. Perhaps Molly would like shutters. Alfie approves of them because he can open them at will to take up his Neighborhood Watch duties. Unfortunately, I haven’t figured out how to get him to close them when he’s finished. But then, he is male....
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new roof!
ReplyDeleteYou take progress where you can get it. But shading the fabric stash is a real concern, so you'll need to make an accommodation with Molly. And sadly, losing your shade will also make your house a lot hotter in summer. I speak from experience.
ReplyDeleteYou do have a lovely collection of blues.

Finally! Seems like it's been forever ago when the damage was done. While a blue roof sounds pretty, it's good to see your more traditional house covering in place.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the stash covering - Molly will probably pull the covers off faster than you can put them on...
Blue bit coins, blue tarps and blue skies--better than singing the blues. Shutters were a first thought for the stash shading problem, but then I went for a walk and noticed that a few houses in my neighborhood have awnings. So that might be an option.
ReplyDeleteThe problem with awnings is there is still ambient light, which can fade the fabrics. I have a bin of fabric in here right now, covered with dark T-shirts and kitty does not play with the t-shirts. But when I used a black more shear fabric hair cutting cape she LOVED getting behind it and playing.
