Getting started with aqua!

It's always fun to dig into a different color at the beginning of the month.  My aqua stash isn't very big this year, but I found enough to get started on the zipper blocks.  I've just been making three of these each month, and they will continue into 2024.


That block on the right is showing up as more blue than blue-green in the photo, 
but in real life it fits with aqua month!

I love this fun cat print, and it has found its way into several projects recently.  I'm sure it started out as a fat quarter, but this is all that's left now.



Here are all the zipper blocks I've made so far - 27 of them.   They're a fun bunch of color!


Check out what all the other 
Rainbow Scrap Quilters are working on over at SoScrappy!
And at Melva Loves Scraps for Sew and Tell Monday.

Aqua/teal/turquoise are all colors that tend to look green or blue until you compare them to the "pure" colors. You picked some great fabrics for this week's blocks.

Love the zippers, and the cat print too! I'm always sad to see the last of a favorite print, until another favorite comes along!
