RSC22 -- Teal & Light Blue

I'm still cutting scraps from other projects to make 3.5" rail fence blocks.  Here's 40 aqua/light blue blocks.  I didn't fussy cut anything on purpose.  I do like the Sponge Bob and the fish that are happy little surprises in these blocks.  545 of 900 blocks complete.

The reason that I don't have that many teals and aqua scraps in my collection is because during RSC21 I started making the Gobble Gobble (pattern by Lori Holt) quilt.  I'm excited that I pulled it out and loaded it onto my longarm frame this week.  There are so many fun aquas and teals in this quilt.  I didn't follow the rules for the sashing of this quilt and just continued to use random lengths of left over 2.5" pieces.

You can tell there are different sized pieces in the 2.5" strips at this angle.

I am quilting it with BRIGHT BLUE thread.  This is a little out of the norm for me, but I LOVE how this looks.  I may be quilting with more bright colors in the near future.  This is fun.  The quilting pattern is called Egyptian Eye. 

This is a gorgeous color blue in my opinion.  Outside yesterday our 14" of snow was busy melting in 55 degree Ohio weather.  Most areas in the yard and fields have a glaze of snow on top.  The out areas and driveway are a MUDDY ick color.  This color definitely brightens my day as the sun is shining!

I finally participated in one of the Project Quilting 2022 challenges.  This challenge was called Mining for Diamonds.  You can read all about it on my blog post here. It measures 60" x 7" to fit our shelf in the living room.  Below is a photo of it on the shelf.
