After getting a red Gameboard block made earlier in the week, I thought this would be a good time to take stock of where I am with them. I think the last time I shared the full collection was in March, and there were sixteen complete blocks made, with four 16 patch centers waiting in the wings.
I know I made more pinks and oranges in April and May. This month it was time to add a couple aqua blocks to the bunch, so I did just that!
A yellow and a green block were added, too, just to catch up, and now there are 24 blocks! I'm shooting for 30, so just six more needed. I think another purple block, for sure, a yellow, and maybe some in black prints.
In other aqua sewing, I've been playing with an idea for this month's scrappy placemat, starting with this bunch of fabric.
At first I thought I might try a color wash of the dark to light, but I just couldn't get inspired by that. So then, I decided to play around with more squares and rectangles, and pulled out some leftover scraps of a wide backing that has aqua sprinkles in it. Out of that I cut some 2.5 inch squares, and then 2.5 x 4.5 inch rectangles of the different aquas.
This kind of design could be fun in a rainbow of colors!
Plus I have lots more of that "Sprinkle" print left to use up.
I hope to have a scrappy aqua placemat ready to share next week.

The Gameboard Blocks are adorable, Diann. I really like this design. And that sprinkle fabric is too cute! You have some fun strips to work with for your new placemat. Enjoy your weekend. Hugs.
