Four more trees for the Rainbow Jungle -
A big thank you to Preeti who suggested I make some freezer paper templates to use when my scraps are odd sizes and I want to make some trees. That worked out great!
I also made some HSTs for the dark blue zigzag row.
I've been having fun making a few of Bonnie Hunter's Leader/Ender blocks -
And I added a few double four patches to my collection, too.
Here's my busy design wall!
I finished up the scrappy dark blue batik placemat I was working on last week and squared it up to about 17 x 13. I decided a bright yellow binding would be fun!
And the back -
Works perfectly for breakfast!
Hope you've been staying cool with your blue scraps this week! Linking up with SoScrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday.

Love your blues this week! I'm loving your trees lately! This is going to be a fabulous quilt!!!
Lots of nice projects on your wall! Isn't it nice to be able to throw things up there to keep track of progress and/or for inspiration? I hop to remember Preeti's freezer paper tip.
Pretty blues! Makes you feel cooler even when it's not, right?
love the zigzags the best!! I made a border like that once for one quilt I did and seeing yours makes think I need to keep that in mind for one down the road
The blue place mat definitely needed the yellow binding, so pretty with your dishes. And that backing is pretty darn cool too!
Your design board is looking so colorful, Diann. and those placemats are very nice too.
Using freezer paper to make odd scraps work for your trees is a great idea. The yellow binding is perfect on your place-mat. Lots of great blue progress. Your design wall is looking happy.
pretty blues in your project, I haven't started the leader ender yet - is that the bigger size?
What a lot of lovely work in Dark BLUE, Diann! Your placemat and that design wall show your dedication to working through those scraps. Regarding your Rainbow Jungle... Preeti is always full of bright ideas!
Lovely trees Diann. I used that pattern for Christmas mug rugs for the whole family a few years ago. I liked doing them. I don't think I'll be doing BH's L&E challenge this year; I'm still putting the results of last year's together!
Your blue projects are Sew Cool! The placemat turned out great. Great daisy mug, by the way!
It’s been hot in your neck of the woods, stay cool!
Sew many fun dark blue projects - love the birds flying by the trees and a sunny morning breakfast with that great placemat.
Lots of fun things going on here! I'd jump on the zig zag bandwagon if I hadn't already made one. I keep thinking I'm going to make a lot of placemats to use all my little pieces of batting but never get around to it. Nice way to start the morning!
I so enjoy your posts, and seeing what you are playing with and creating. What a fun, happy place is your quilting room!
Great use of your dark blue scraps! I'm planning to do Bonnie Hunter's LE Challenge, too; only have one block made so far. Great idea for the batik placemats!
I love your vivid dark blues, and especially paired with the colorful background In the zigzag blocks. You have a fun start on Bonnie’s leader/ender project. Will you continue it with RSC colors? And do you have a plan for the other colorsIn it , or just what strikes your fancy?
Lots of lovely dark blues, love your trees and the zig zag row. I've cut out a few of Bonnie's new leader and ender blocks but haven't quite got to work on them yet.
I'm enjoying the sight of your design wall - what a batch of beauties!
And how perfect is that placemat! Breakfast will taste even better with that for a backdrop!
I just love your growing forest of rainbow trees! Very smart to make more efficient use of each scrap with templates :)
You are working on a wonderful bunch of blocks. Love the shot of the design wall. Very impressive. Love the placemat. The addition of yellow is just perfect. Great job! ;^)
Love your cool blue trees, they'd make a great winter forest. Lots of scrappy goodness up on your design wall. Happy stitching this week.
I love the placemat! It's a cheerful way to start the day. You stay cool too! I see you've got some super hot temps happening. Thank goodness for basements & reasonably cool temps at night!
Sunny skies and blue waters = perfect summer combination. A fresh and fruity breakfast makes it even better.
Thank you for the shout-out, girlfriend!!! Anything for you :-)
Such pretty work!
