Rainbow Scrap Challenge - Teal Treats

It's been a busy week.  However, there was some quality time spent in the sewing room.  The hour between 8 and 9 PM has become my sewing room hour.  Even if I don't think I want to sew, I've been moving myself up the stairs and into my sewing room.  Once I get there, it's hard to see all the pieces just lying on the machine and not do something with them.  I've managed to get in at least 30 minutes of machine time each night this week.  

For my efforts, there are a few teal Rainbow Scrap Challenge Sampler blocks to show this week.




The last two teal blocks of the sampler haven't been cut out yet.  But I'm happy that at least three of the sampler blocks got finished before the end of the month. 

I mixed these three in with the blue and pink blocks made earlier.  




I played around with position just a bit.  I'm sure it will look completely different when all the blocks are done, but it's fun to see the new colors show up with what's already up on the design wall.  

Check out more fun scrappy rainbow projects posted over at Soscrappy.

I hope to find that zone again this week. I had a very productive winter, but my mojo seems to have vanished the last two weeks. Isn't it fun to arrange the blocks? You have great variety of blocks.

Having a standing appointment with your sewing room is a great idea! Lots of pretty teals there to mix in.
