Retro Rubies

When I first saw Alyssa's Retro Ruby quilt and the announcement for a quilt-a-long, I knew I was going to participate!   I like the quilt....love piecing some curves....and I wanted to try out some of the new In The Beginning solids we got in at Pink Chalk.   This is the bundle I chose:

 I can never have enough blue!  


The blocks are very straight forward. Only two curves to sew.  They sewed up fast....love that!!!


Four blocks make one "flower" shape.  This is them together without the sashing between.  I'll be adding that once all my blocks are done and arranged how I want them.   I'm making the wall hanging size so I only need to make 20 more.  You might actually get to see the finished top before too long..........if I don't get distracted by another "have to make it" quilt.  LOL!

Those blues will make a beautiful quilt in this pattern. It'll be fun seeing Retro Rubies pop up all over blogland for the quiltalong.
