It has been delightful to get out the aqua/turquoise/teal scraps to play with this week for August in the Rainbow Scrap Scrap Challenge! I started the month with some question marks and chandelier blocks. You can tell I had a few bigger chunks that worked for multiple blocks!
Of course, I had to look at all the chandelier blocks together on the design wall.
The Little Sisters fit right in, don't they?
Read more about them here.
My evening hand stitching has been this hand-pieced Scrappy Trips block in aqua. I'll continue working on this over the weekend, as well as prepping squares for the second one of these for the month, maybe with a few darker turquoise fabrics.
I love those cats on turquoise!

ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty month for sewing;)
ReplyDeletethe wall is looking good. I think I need to start looking for more aqua I found I had a couple pieces of yardage but I didn't want to cut into them would rather use the scraps for these. Love your sister's block
ReplyDeleteAqua is definitely a beautiful color, and you have quite a lot of it! Love your design wall with all these pretty blocks!
ReplyDeleteIs the solid aqua in your blocks more of the Kona Aruba you used as the binding on the mini-sisters? It's a vibrant color.

ReplyDeleteYou jumped right in on the aqua! Very cool blocks! Every time I see your Scrappy Trips blocks, I vow to try my hand at hand piecing! Maybe I’ll hunt up a couple of tutorials or YouTube videos and put my Big Girl panties on and give it a try! LOL

ReplyDeleteso pretty and very calming aqua blocks. will be a great addition to your growing collection.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, those little sisters do fit in. They make their own little chandeliers, and I love how you quilted them. I’m interested in your hand piecing. I’m dithering over making a take-along kit. I had been thinking hexies, but squares look like fun, too, and much easier to prep. Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteI love the aqua. My favorite color! Have a great week!
