Getting started with aqua!

My sewing time this week has been all about digging into my aqua stash, and it has been very enjoyable!  I started with the next block for the Pieces of My Life QAL called "Steps to the Altar."

You can read more about that adventure HERE.

While I was working on that block, I also cut pieces and parts for an aqua patchwork heart.  Before too long, that one was sewn together, too!


And four patches were made for the alternate block as well.


I'm up to 16 blocks for this project, and it's starting to look like something!  I've decided I want to make 25 blocks for this quilt so that I can have a heart in each corner.  That means nine more are needed - five hearts and four alternate blocks.
