Last week of Aqua

 It's the last Saturday of Aqua and the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  I didn't have a fabric box for my Aqua scraps yet, so it's what I focused on this week.

Started this little project last Sunday during my Finishing School class at Out of Hand Quilting and Fabrics, and completed it a couple of days later.  The pattern is from the book Sunday Morning Quilts by Amanda Jean Nyberg and Cheryl Arkison.  Here is a look at the inside with a few aqua scraps that are left.

There will be more aqua scraps soon, as I'm already working on another quilt with aqua in it.  Here is a close-up of the aqua and gold carp lining fabric.

I've enjoyed playing with this refreshing colour, there were more aqua projects that I could have worked on this month, but somehow ran out of time. I'm looking forward to seeing what Angela from Soscrappy picks for next months Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

Aqua is a cool blue-green hue linked to water, calm, and clarity. 

Some Aqua blocks

Having fun sewing through my aqua scraps to make few aqua Mile a Minute blocks to share for this months Rainbow Scrap Challenge. 

In real life I think they are a bit brighter, there must have been cloud cover when I took this photo. I also thought that I had ten blocks, I'll have to go and recount, as I'm trying to make ten each month, looks like I dropped the ball a couple of times here. 

Hoping to get a little more Aqua piecing in before the end of the month.

I'm joining with many others at Angela's Rainbow Scrap Challenge at her Soscrappy blog.
