TEAL/AQUA Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects and Hats

 I am reporting for February!!!

Teal/Aqua is just one of my most favorite colors.... we just accented our Kitchen with it!!! so this was a fun one to play with!

Here is my Teal Steppers Top!! All finished, and I actually even picked out a backing for it.


When it is all finished - you know I will have to show it again for FInished (or not) Friday - hosted right here on this blog...

Then I went down a Squirrel trail... Jan over at The Colorful Fabriholic showed her basketweave top.... and don't laugh... 2 1/2 inch strips were just sitting at my feet....so you know I had to jump right in!!!


I've made a few similar to this - but her instructions were just so easy and right there... and so!!! You know... you will have to watch it grow... I will need to use ALL of the strips that were at my feet - I can not leave one out and make it lonely!!!

And then!!! My February Hat Report!! I got 11 Done this month!! Go!!



I might have had some fun experimenting - that top hat right corner - it was a variegated skein... 

I made a hat for one of my sons and it just turned out variegated - but I made these a little smaller - and it rowed.... or striped or ... anyways - I thought it was cool. But then I thought what if I mixed the colors... I use two strands on these hats - so the far right is the same Variegated with navy blue, and the one to the left of it is the same Variegated with Cream.... totally different... I thought it was fun.


and I am very grateful for spell check - apparently Variegated is not a word in my typing vocabulary!!!

  1. Lots of fun teals in the quilts and the hats. Squirrels are allowed if they use up left overs, at least I think they should be.

  8. Your love of teal really shines here! So many hats, and I like how you experimented with the variegated yarn. Your rail fence is cute, but I am in awe of your teal basketweave blocks. So, so pretty!!! I'm looking forward to seeing how you quilt it when the top is finished. Thanks for the shout-out.

  17. As a knitter myself, I just loved your knitted hats! They look great as well as nice & warm! Love both your quilts too. T was just at retreat and a gal made a basketweave top. I love that look and, yours in TEAL, is gorgeous!

  20. I love aquas and teals, and the colors you put with them in Steppers just makes them sing! I am LOL at not leaving out a lonely strip on the strip blocks.
    Have I mentioned I love your new header? It is a new header, right? Or am I imagining things.
    Have a great Sunday!

  26. Great Teal/Aqua projects. Jan had some really good ideas for simple quilts, didn't she? Mixing the cream/navy with the variegated worked well!
