| Turquoise Mile a Minute |
When I saw the August colour for the
Rainbow Scrap Challenge I didn’t think I would be able to do it as I had grouped
all my blue scraps together in July. However I
went through my scrap drawer and just pulled out Turquoise like colours and had
no problem coming up with enough scraps to make these Mile a Minute blocks.
Be sure to check out what others are
doing with their turquoise scraps at soscrappy.
Turquoise is a bluish
tone of light green. The color is based on the gem turquoise. The word
turquoise, which dates to the 16th century, is derived from an Old French word
for "Turkish", because the mineral was first brought to Europe from
Turkey.

Very cheery! I keep saying I must try this technique, but never seem to make it happen. Could I possibly have too many projects calling my name?! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat little blocks. I like that you found some history on Turquoise. I love the colour. Just getting around to see everyone's RRSC tonight.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection. It is amazing how many scraps keep coming out of our bis and how any blocks the keep turning into.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun and happy blocks!
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks - I am glad you were able to find more scraps to work with.
