Isn’t it always the case? You put off doing something for fear of failure. That is what was going on with me and my Aqua/Turquoise scrap blocks. I only had a few scraps and I knew it would be tough going trying to stretch them and make 24 blocks.
And then I got this in the mail. From my friend, Debra.
Some really cool scrap pieces in there. Including turquoise. I used her scraps and some other pieces I found in my stash. Even found some charms I bought last year just sitting. I cut them into strips. They worked great.
So… this is the last color. And I am REALLY loving them. In fact, there isn’t an ugly one in the bunch. I had a tough time picking a favorite. I like all 24 of them.
I took apart my “table cloth” quilt. Hubby said it looked like five table cloths. 😦 And now I have the strips separate, not doubled up. Still with black polka dot sashing between the colors.
I am just about finished sewing the strips together. Then I have to decide on a border. Or no border. Probably yes, a border. And a pieced back.
Thanks much, Debra. I used all of the aqua and turquoise. Love the skulls with red roses fabric.

Beautiful! I could curl up under these in the dead of winter, and feel like I’m on a sunlit Caribbean beach.
I am loving all these scraps you are putting together and I think the Aqua is my favorite. I would love to have a small lap quilt to put on my lap to cover my legs when sitting at the computer. I have arthritis, fibro, and nerve damage in my legs (neuropathy). Have you thought about making small lap size quilts? Crocheted ones we call lapghans and I have one and it’s very handy. Keep up the great work. You are so creative!
Wow! The turquoise ones are gorgeous! Glad I could contribute to them!
The skulls and roses I think I actually have some very large scraps of that I kept- I made a late 40’s styled halter dress with full skirt out of that fabric ages ago and still wear it when I can. Its also featured of the pillow covers I made for our couch. They don’t match anything but each other though… lol.
oh, I love those aqua and turquoise especially with a splash of red! Beautiful.
Oooooooo…I love the turquoise. You know that’s my favorite color! And I do like your revision of the jeweltone quilt. Beautiful!
Hi everyone and thanks so much for your comments.
I was really surprised how well these turned out. I don’t work much with turquoise but maybe I should. 😀
I worked more on my quilt and am now adding the last border. It is turning out exactly how I pictured it. Photos soon.
