So March is teal with its friends, turquoise & aqua. I have 6 projects going for RSC this year which is a bit much, I know. But this month I didn’t do have to do as much because Diamond Strings and End of the Rainbow don’t use teal. They need a more regular blue but I figure that will be coming later in the year, so I left them alone. I only worked on 4 of my projects this week and got them all done with one more week to go in the month!
This Tumbling String project is just super fun. I dug around my I-Spy stash for the “solid” tumblers, then used my string stash for the striped blocks. It is inspired by a selvage quilt by Cathy.
Cute aqua blocks for Rainbow Stairsteps. I love these blocks more each month, although I’m still trying to figure out how to make them come out a little straighter. Based on a layout by Julie.
Light & dark turquoise square-in-square blocks for my Sun Print 2016 by Alison Glass kit. I used my Mini Simple Folded Corner ruler on these blocks with my small cutting mat by my machine so it went fast & efficiently. I also sent the matching waste triangles through at the same time this month so now I have a bunch of cute HST’s all done rather than a bunch of triangles in a bag.
Three checkerboard blocks to add to the pile. I used all the 2.5″ squares without repeating that I have cut out in my 2.5″ bin, so I stopped. I figure I don’t need as many of this color in a rainbow quilt, but I can always make more later if I lay it out & decide I need more.
So there it is. Hope everyone is surviving their Coronacation or self-isolation or mandatory quarantine or whatever is going on in your life. Happy sewing!
Beautiful teal and aqua blocks – your projects look fun.
Lovely teal blocks I rather like your square in a square blocks. I’m also making checkerboard blocks for RSC, they are fun to do.
Looks like you got plenty done with teal this month. It feels good to be all caught up.
Love those rainbow stairsteps. I made some of the string tumbler blocks a while ago and stopped. Hope yours continue to grow.
Four projects is a lot but you managed. What will you do with this last & final week? I’m sure you’ve got lots of options! ;^)
