I've also decided it is high time I got my scraps organized, so I've been ironing my blue scraps and cutting them into squares. I've been pulling out the strings and bagging them up, so they will be ready when I need them, I have approximately 4 gallons of blue strings and believe I could make a king sized quilt made entirely of blue string blocks!
Here are the other blue blocks I've made this month:
I was feeling a little unmotivated to sew because my sewing room is a bit of a mess. Getting these scraps organized is helping me feel like I want to sew again. I also tidied up my pink and yellow scraps today. During the pink and yellow months, I'll be able to spend more time sewing and less time organizing.

I too have been up to my "pits" in string blocks...what will you do with yours? I have them in every colour from last years scrap challenge as well! It does make a difference once things are tidied, it is easier to get right to creating. Best of luck with purple and green too!
I believe you've put your finger on what is troubling my sewing enthusiasm. Tidying shall commence. Meanwhile, that blue star is just gorgeous.
Pretty blues! Stay home and stitch.
Your Strings, Slabs, and that amazing Star Block all turned out well. You certainly used a bunch of BLUE scraps!! Well done.
Love all of your blocks. Wish I could get motivated to organize.
good job! the blue month is always a biggie! (red, too!)
Getting your scraps organized is always a great way to start. Great string blocks!
I love string-pieced blocks! Have you decided how you will set them? Great star block, too!
Cleaning the studio and refolding fabric is a sure-fire jumpstarter for me -- and organizing one color a month is a good, workable plan.
