RSC16: June Aqua with a Dash of Green - Sea Colors

I'm back home!  After a few days of rest and getting used to the time zone I made my list of projects to work on:
  • RSC16 - June Block
  • Stashbee - my polka dot version of the June Block - then make either an extra block or pieces toward a second block
  • Play with Me - June Block - Ludo Game Block
  • Finalize testing and write up of my July Stashbee Block
  • Play with Me - May Block - Make into a pillow!
  • I'd also like to share some photos from my trip.... 
(I'll cross them out here when they are done!)

There are only 30 days in June so I have a lot of sewing to do! I should have started with the projects with deadlines (Stashbee and Play with Me), but instead I started with the Rainbow Stash Challenge as my block is very free form, improv, liberated.  It's fun to sew that way!

The fabric I picked for the lime green accent didn't stand out as much as I wanted as the cherries took over the block, but it will be a good addition to my other monthly RSC16 blocks!

The geometric fabric, sea coral fabric and the stuff with the little black lines were in a little stack of fabric I found from my mom.  The cherries were retrieved from the discard pile at a class I took.  The batik I believe came from the tour I took at Robert Koffman? in Orange County.  The little lime green flower was fabric I bought when I was loving making the half log cabin quilt so long ago. I have lots of fabric still from that project and will forever I think!  : )

Thank you if you have written comments on my posts while I was on my trip.  I think I'd better keep to sewing for now, but know I have read and do appreciate them!

  5. I believe I recognize a couple of those prints in your scrap block from my own stash. A good print will never go to waste!
