Aquamarine

This week I worked on a couple of Scrappy Trip-along quilt blocks in aquamarine, which is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge colour for February.
 

Scrappy Trip-along quilt blocks
 Over the past couple of years I have made seven of these in each colour to participate in the RSC, as I was sorting through my blocks I noticed I only had five aquas.  I’m not sure if I ran out of scraps in that colour, or just ran out of steam or time.
 

These blocks will join their brothers and sisters - I have seven blocks of ten different colour groupings.

Okay, I just realized that this will be a big quilt, I’d better stop now.  If I make it 8 x 8 blocks, which is 64 blocks it would finish at around 108 x 108, that’s King size, and I’d be left with 6 blocks, yikes.  I’ll have to rethink this.  Time to stop sewing Scrappy Trip along blocks.


Have a look at all the pretty aqua (teal) projects for February’s Rainbow Scrap Challenge at Soscrappy, and come by next Saturday to see another aqua project in progress.

  2. Perhaps you could make two quilts instead? A queen and a cot quilt?

  3. Oh those are very pretty! You could make a lot of quilts with them? instead of just one?

  4. You could make 2 quilts at 6 x 6 and only have to make another 2 blocks of a colour with your most scraps.

  5. You could always turn those extra blocks into baby quilts. Little ones love bright colors.

  6. You have a great collection of pretty blocks! Extra blocks, if you have too many, could always go on the back!

  10. Very nice! I really like the little bees! I like Jo's idea of two quilts, but it's going to be great no matter what you decide!

  11. I love your Scrappy Trip blocks! You could sort them into two color ways and/or use extras as alternate blocks for another block pattern. So many choices - can’t wait to see what you do!

  12. All great suggestions. I like seeing extra blocks on the back. You've done a wonderful job and whatever you do, those blocks will not go to waste.
