Well I finally buckled down and got caught up with the 2016 RSC. Here are my blue Twinklers - a little out of focus. It's been a while since I did some block photography.
While I had the blue scraps out I looked for strips that were between 9 and 10 inches wide. These were cut into 8.5" squares and paired with some floral fabrics from the guild's Community Outreach stash.
The result some lovely scrappy mountains. I had to add some brown mountains so I'd have enough for a comfort quilt. There are a few more blocks cut and waiting to be put together. Maybe later today?
At the last guild meeting I took home a few blocks and was challenged to see what I could do with them. Some blocks were donated as the block of the month and others were put together from precut block kits ( They're the ones with the grey fabric.)
Isn't that disappearing four patch an interesting block?
I'll be linking up with
Angela at Soscrappy and checking to see how everyone rounded out their January Blues.

I've never seen a quilt entirely made with disappearing 4-patches and this is really spectacular. You've hit on a great design for a scrappy quilt. Your twinkler stars are delightful; enjoy February's colour.
What a productive blue month you have had. Those scrappy mountains really came together in a hurry.
Love your stars, and the other two projects are beautiful as well! :)
Love the twinklers. Those mountains and the d4p are great looking quilts. Great job.
It's really amazing how the blues make those stars twinkle! Love all the projects you have done this month!
Nicely done!
Way to go on getting caught up on your twinklers! LOVE those scrappy mountain blocks too. Somebody's gonna love that comfort quilt. :)
You've had a productive month! Always love the scrappy mountain majesties.
I'm loving all three of your projects!! MUST get busy on my Scrappy Mountains quilt... if I want it done before Christmas!
You have had a busy blue month. Lovely stars and beautiful 4 patches. I love to make diappearing 4 patches.
Everything looks so good! I love the Mountains quilt especially. You've had a busy week!
Wow, your projects are very interesting! Looks so nice
Your Twinkler stars are amazing! They truly are lovely! And I think both the delectable mountain and disappearing 4-patch would make great rainbow blocks!!
Those scrappy Mountains are more like Majestic Mountains. And, yes, I like the D4P but have actually never made one.
All your blocks are beautiful!
I've never seen a quilt using all disappearing 4patches before - that's very inspiring! (I made one of those blocks, but never pursued it. Might have to give this a think...)
Love the twinkler stars and your scrappy mountains majesty. Beautiful work.
You have a lovely group of stars. I've decided to make some blue ones, better late than never. So I'm going to use your photo as an idea source for color combos. The mountains look great and the d4p is very compelling, lots to see. Good work!
You've started a new concept in how to quilt a universe...stars, mountains and disappearing four patch which I assume are really black holes. Beautiful bluetiful work.
Very pretty stars! The disappearing 9 patch "left over" blocks looks great. I'd say you did well with that challenge.
Beautiful Stars and I love your other projects.
Wow, everything looks fabulous. I too am working with the Scrappy Mountain Majesties as a leader and ender project. But it does come together quite quickly. Well done.
Great selection of blocks Nell. Love the D4P. Like Marly, I haven't seen a whole quilt in that block, although I made a few blocks myself once for a BOM challenge. Love the effect.
All your blocks look great! Love the Scrappy Mountains in florals - I like the softer texture.
Those twinklers really are just so cute. I'm not looking any more or I'll be starting a new project and I definitely don't need to do that!
You have a great collection of blocks and projects! I really like those twinkle star blocks! Such pretty blues.
I love, love, LOVE your colorful colorful D4P block quilt!
