Why do you need to use single quotes?  If you just want to avoid using
double quotes (perhaps because you want double quotes within the string),
you could use something like this instead:

    name = 'Andrew'
    puts %Q{blah blah #{name} blah blah}

If you want to be able to reuse the string, you could define a method:

    def a(name_input)
      %Q{blah blah #{name_input} blah blah}
    end

    name = 'Andrew'

    puts a(name)
