RSC January week 5 & Snapshots BOM 1st block

It's been a good week for the final January blue week for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!

 I made several more square in a square blocks, enough for a baby quilt I think!

I think these will become an "under the sea" themed baby quilt someday!

Speaking of baby quilts I finished the blue 9 patch baby quilt. I free motion quilted it with a meander pattern. I was pleased with it! It has been donated to our guild's community service committee and it will be donated to our local hospital for a little one in need. Yea for a finish! I'm linking up to Michelle's Romantic Tangle Let's Make Baby Quilts .

I love the backing too!

Blue has been a fun challenge this month! I still have one more block I want to make, and I doubt I will finish it tonight, but that's ok! Check out how others have been using their blue scraps here.
Tomorrow starts a new challenge: PINK! How appropriate for February!
 
I also completed my January BOM in the Snapshots which was called Let Them Eat Cake. This was such a fun block and I could envision an entire quilt of different flavored cakes! Wouldn't that be fun?! You can learn more about this BOM here.

 
I hope January has been a good month for you!

    Your baby quilt is so cute and the material for the backing is just darling.

      Thanks! I was glad to find a good use for the fabric I used for the backing. I was wishing I was riding in that red car on some tropical island ;)

    Your charity quilt was wonderful. Looking forward to seeing your under the sea baby quilt come together. Love the baby whales and angle fish fabrics. Awesome cake block.

      Thanks Sheila! I need to improve my photography skills. My pictures are awful. Oh well. The angel fish and the whales don't exactly match, but I figured since they both live in the sea they would work together :)

    The whale blocks are really cute. They'll make a great baby quilt. Your cake block turned out amazing. I have been trying to avoid that BOM, but I keep seeing the cake blocks allover the web and I am weakening.

      I am hoping I can keep up with the Snapshots BOM. There are so many quilt alongs and BOM going on now. I too have had to pick and choose which ones I can participate in. I want to do them all! Thanks so much for your kind words!
