Aqua slabs

Friday evening, I spent an enjoyable time sewing two aqua slabs (after Cheryl Arkison’s fashion) so that I could participate in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge which happens every Saturday.  Each month Angela picks a new colour and we all link up on Saturday to show what we've accomplished.  I have a few rainbow projects on the go that need an aquamarine piece (or something blue/green) to help bring them nearer to completion, so part of my evening was preparing, choosing and gathering aqua bits, and just having fun playing with fabric – my happy place.



Aqua Slabs (quilt blocks)
These two new slabs will join a bunch of others, and I believe I am near to having a quilt top.  They are actually quite large, 15 inches unfinished, so two more (I’m planning on black) will make a 60 x 90 quilt.

Do you need a little inspiration, especially on using up some scraps?  Have a look at what others are doing at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, for this first Saturday in February.

    What a happy stack. So many scraps all playing together in harmony.

    Your slabs look like such fun to make. And I love the bits of red orange sparkle that you added.

    Don't you just love the creative energy that flows when you make the slabs. No bit is too small to still add punch to the slab. What a fun stack of slabs.

    I love scrappy quilts, so I can't wait to see all your blocks in harmony within 1 quilt:)

    Your SEA GREEN slab looks FABULOUS with your other blocks!! Looking forward to seeing how you will combine these into a quilt.

    Oh how I prefer your slabs to my scrap vortex slabs! But I think I can tame mine somewhat. Great idea to make them 15"! A quilt in no time! Pleasure to meet a fellow Albertan (although I am now transplanted ;-)

    Great slab blocks, so many different fabrics. Wow 15 inches. I have to say I prefer to make the 12 " myself.

    Your blocks are great - In the olden days we used to call them crumb blocks, but I like Slab - thats a cool name!
