Once upon a time - I read SoScrappys Blog post and saw the word Teal - so I assumed that meant that April was the month of teal. Imagine my surprise when I saw SewPreeti's IG post - that she was doing RED for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.... Therefore - I confused the colors - but!!
Its All GOOD!! I have a lot of both!!
Originally I had pulled teals out - I have a TON of 3 1/2 inch strips. We went to Belize - we saw lots of teal and aqua and green and it was all gorgeous together - so I envisioned a Sea themed quilt..
And I also wanted to stick with my diamond Chain/Buckeye Beauty blocks: But you know what??? Using 3 1/2 inch squares makes small blocks!! I am used to my 5 inch squares - but I persisted:
I tried one with grey - and I like it - but its too muddy for me, for the look I was aiming for. Then I tried navy and White - I have a lot of that already cute into 3 1/2 inch pieces too... so that is the direction I was going......
Until I went back and read Angela's blog and the color was RED!!! I want to do red too!!! I have red scraps!!!
The girls.... See the Fabric is downstairs, the sewing machine is upstairs - they were saying - PICK A FLOOR woman!!!
One can never have too many projects in motion correct? I can work on Teal and Red and More red, and maybe those two colors even go together??? hmmm - I'll have to think on that one While I do my Red color research for the month.
PS!!! I was glad I changed my rotary blade on the First ( NO FOOLIN') it has gotten a HUGE workout this week.... Cuz I may have started a few other projects......

May have started a few other projects 🤣 Isn't that the way it goes.
ReplyDeleteI actually love teals and reds together!
ReplyDeleteI didn't get to my RSC project till this weekend, so I saw the post about the red. Looks like you've got a good start on a couple of fun projects. Looking forward to seeing what else you've got going.
ReplyDeleteOoh would love to see all the new projects. Red/teal what's the difference? You are making progress on both so you'll be ahead of the curve when teal is the color! Go you!
ReplyDeleteI jump started with teal, also!!! Now I'm moving on to teal + red!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny that I'm willing to change out the needle on my machine but not my rotary blade... thanks for the reminder. I'll get mine changed today, too!
ReplyDeleteI think that Belize tuned you into the teal color, that's why! Nice to see you trying out several new ideas! Fun stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love those teals - don't tuck them away! And your reds are positively delicious.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely can have multiple projects on the go at any given time! (Ask me how I know, lol!) Both your teals and your reds look so pretty - it will be fun to work with either color.
ReplyDeleteHah! I love the expression on the girls' faces. . .definitely their expression reads pick a floor! Both colors are going to stitch beautifully. Isn't it crazy how many scraps in various color ways we actually have???
ReplyDeleteI confused the message, too -- so I've used both colors!
ReplyDeleteRed and aqua/teal look good together, so it's all good. The dogs were probably confused if you were up and down those stairs too often.
