Scrappy Teal Saturday

My projects for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge haven't seen much change this week, but I hope to make significant progress in the week ahead. Our color assignment for June is teal/aqua/turquoise with lime green accents, and I did make two Folded Box blocks in those colors. I also have the pieces cut for four
blocks, plus fabrics pulled out for a couple more. The photo includes two purple blocks that I made a week or so ago, trying to catch up on the colors from past months.

I also completed one more block for the Glorious Hexagons group. This block isn't from scraps, but it is made in teal with lime green! I'm very excited by how well the block turned out. Fussy cutting is a slow process, but gives such great results! The block is English paper pieced, and will measure 3" along each finished side.



Be sure to check out all of the wonderful scrappy projects at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge every Saturday and at Oh Scrap! over at Quilting is more fun than Housework on Sunday. I am also linking up to Scraptastic Tuesday at Mrs. Sew & Sow.
