Blue Color Study Sue block

In the Crazy Quilting for Newbies group. I am in the blue cor study group called Slate Blue. The above block belongs to Sue. I decided to make both of Her Initials for this patch. I did the letter "S" in a medium blue shade of thread. The Letter "W" was done in a darker shade of blue thread. I also added 2 Blue Dragonflies by the initials. The seam above the letters I made was s diamond shape with different types of stitches for the center.

Blue Color Study Nina block

In the Yahoo Group called Crazy quilting for Newbies. I am currently in a the Blue Color study Round Robin. The group that I am a member of is called the Slate Blue Group. I worked on the light blue patch of Nina's block. I made the "N" with different shades of blue threads and added blue flowers with some leaves. The seam that I did I added some dangling beads. The beads seem to be longer than I thought so they may get in others way while they are designing. The color seems to be a little harder for me to do. The color is just not hitting me right.

Blue Color Study

This is my naked block for the Blue Color study in the Crazy Quilting for Newbies Yahoo group. This is the third color study I have been in for this group.The people who are involved in the color study are divided into groups of 6 and the group that I am in is called Slate Blue. One of the only criteria for doing the blue color study is the same as the past groups. You are only allowed to use shades of blue fabric and only shades of blue threads and any accents that you add should also be in those shades as well. This is the first block that I have made that has used other fabrics besides cotton. I used some satins and silks to build this block.
The first photo is of the naked block.
The second photo is of the companion journal for all the members in my group to add a small note to go with the block.
