Bits of Turquoise and Teal

The past week has been a bit crazy (and therefore, unusual) in the Little Penguin household!  A variety of out of town guests coming and going, and preparing to be out of town ourselves, has left me with very little time in my sewing room.  ;(

 I did have a chance to dig out a few teal and turquoise scraps -


so I could put together the Squared Away Sampler blocks for June.


I'm awfully glad this month's block went together so quickly... at least I accomplished something!

Here are all of my Sampler blocks up on the design wall together.

I'm really happy with them so far!

The smallest leftover bits and pieces get sewn into these Tiny Rail blocks - 


I need 25 of these 2.5 inch squares to make a 10.5 inch block, so I'll keep working on them throughout the month.

For more teal and turquoise inspiration, check out all the posts at Angela's ScrapHappy Saturday link-up for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, HERE!

Thank goodness for some speedy piecing and I hope you enjoy your travels!

Those blocks are a nice addition to your sampler, Diann. You really believe in the adage, Waste not, want not. Those bits would make a cute mini quilt.

Cathy said...

Finding little bits of time to sew in the summer is difficult here too. Looks like you made good use of your bits of time!

Deb A said...

They must have known and made this month's block easy for us! Your's came out great. Enjoy your travels.

Your Squared Away sampler is looking great! Hope things slow down so you can get in some stitching time once your visitors and trips are all over.

Preeti said...

Oh my goodness, Diann. We are on the same wavelength this week.

Your blocks turned out great. I am thinking about making some zigzag blocks for an RSC quilt. I need a new project.

Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!

Loving your sampler!
Sounds like you're having a busy summer. I love our family visits, but I'm always happy to get back into the sewing room - lol!

Lots of scrap-happiness here Diann! Darn when real life disrupts our sanity-saving sewing time right?!
