This month was Aqua/Teal for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Now I know I had to really dig last year and this year I thought I had more - NO. So my aqua and teal fabrics range from a green to blue and inbetween.
I had some more true aqua left over from the Birds & Berries used in last years sampler BOM - yes, I am desperate to use up that greenie one.
Yep, even dug into my scrap binding drawer for a few more.
And really scraped when it came to the string block. What tiny bit was left was cut into my pre-cut barrels.
I will be linking up with SoScrappy
I am on a fabric diet, but I was lucky to win a lovely jelly roll of La Belle Fleur from Kris at Lavendar Quilts for her blogaversary. And the jelly roll and charm pack of Bloomin' Fresh was from Deb Strain won during Moda's Alphabet Hop.
Our winner is #5 - Val Spiers
I will be sending off an e-mail to her for mailing info.
Everyone have a pleasant weekend - Spring has to be around the corner as I think Moe has lost 10# chasing all the big fat Robins in the yard.
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon
I love your blocks and choice of fabrics. I especially like the blocks in the third picture. What is the name of that block?
ReplyDeleteAnd your winners, such yummy fabrics!
I love all your teal blocks and all the colors in between. Some of my favorite colors.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteYou did good with your teal scavenger hunt. I'm not sure I have any real teal or aqua. It's possible that I'm using turquoise.
We're recovering from an ice storm here. But expecting some spring weather this weekend : )
They look great, I think green to blue is exactly right, otherwise it would be boring
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look great. I am concentrating on working on my fabric diet too. I have so many strings and need to use them first.
ReplyDeleteSuch great variety of fabrics in your blocks. Way to dig into the bins. You inspired me to pull out the Civil War book you showed last week. I just may have to make a little T block at the end of that book this month. Thanks for the reminder to check the books in the quilting library for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteSome great blocks to use up all those aqua scraps. Isn't it amazing what we find when we dig deep!
ReplyDeleteA win is the perfect ease on that fabric diet!!! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteYour aquas are beautiful.
Beautiful teal blocks. At least you've used up one color. I'm in the same boat, not much teal in my scrappy stash either.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun teals! Those churndashes win my heart every time, but especially in teals :) And now I want to go to the studio and make a hundred aqua/teal strip blocks!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour teals are great, and it must feel nice to use up all those odds and ends!
ReplyDeleteWonderful blocks Sharon and congrats on all the great wins!
ReplyDeleteThose are such nice wins. Love all of your teal blocks.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks. Congratulations on winning such beautiful fabric.
ReplyDeleteYou put your scraps to great use! What a wonderful prize you won!!
ReplyDeleteI love aqua and all shades of it. :) I think it reminds me of the ocean.... blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks and congratulations Val.

Awesome wins for an awesome blogger!!!
ReplyDeleteYou really had lots of teal and aqua by the looks of all the beautiful blocks you got from them.! I'm loving all the different blocks you made.
ReplyDeleteThose are great Aqua/Teal blocks and congrats on the wins.
ReplyDeleteI, too, am on a fabric (and yarn) diet but, because people know I sew (and knit) for charity/donation, supplies keep coming!
