Scrap Saturday - Teal and Aqua


I got this much Scrappy goodness done today. 
My slab blocks are being made for the Big Canadian Quilt Bee run by CQA, I am working on more blocks for a 3rd and maybe a 4th quilt that will go to sick kids at Ronald McDonald House in Canada.


I got 5 Canadian Slab blocks done with my teal and aqua scraps. I love this colour. Maybe because it is like the ocean or some of our mountain lakes. 


The slab blocks all have at least one Canadian print in them. I got this teal print with Red Maples leaves just for these blocks. I think I will use some in my blue blocks too. Love it. 


Also in Teal and aqua is spool blocks. The spool blocks are 3 1/2" unfinished. I got the pattern from Bonnie Hunter were you can find the link to her page. It was one of her leaders and ender challenges.  I started spool blocks years ago, but I got some new scraps and there were many teal prints. 


Here is the bag of new to me scraps. One of my quilting customers was willing to part with a bag of scraps for me. I have been doing quilts for her for years ( more then 12 yrs). It is kind of cool to get this bag as I quilted all the quilts she made and now I can treasure and use the scraps. 


I also got another 6 pink slab blocks done too. 


Last week, I got this crazy pink pony print at the rummage bin at the local quilt shop. I just love it. I was too old for magic ponies when they came out but my cousin that is 15 years younger then me had them.

  3. Lovely slab blocks; It's fun you have to incorporate maple leaves somewhere. I saw the Little Pony straight away; my daughter had one, more than 30 years ago, and was forever brushing it's mane!
