January Blues

There have been times

when I have found January

a long deary month.

But as I've gotten older,

January, like every month,

seem to go by too fast.

So here it is the end of the month

and time to share 

 my monthly mini challenge

organized by Wendy, the Constant Quilter.

January Blues

23" x 27"

Like most new projects,

it starts with looking through the stash

for just the right fabrics,

shades of blues  and 

blue and white shirtings.

Then some hst's trimmed with

the Bloc-Loc ruler.

Sometimes this 6" block is call Anvil.

I made half the blocks with

a light background 

and the other half with a dark background

and set them side by side.

This simple design

is pleasing to look at on a blue January morning

casting shadows across the snow.

The cold winter weather

has a different outlook

when fabrics and colors

come together

to chase away the January Blues.

Until Next Time-

Kyle
