My friend Gail from the Cozy Quilter blog wrote about the collection of quilt blocks for Calgary flood victims. I decided to combine my scrappy rainbow goals with the Calgary project and sewed two blocks from my aqua scraps.
I think this would be a fun year long rainbow scrap project to start, only I would make the slabs 12.5" which is the size of my square up ruler.

Your teal slabs are bright and cheerful....they are sure to bring a smile to someone's face! Thanks for making the slabs! I am working on a red one.
I'm almost finished my burgundy slab. 15.5 inches doesn't sound all that big until you start adding and adding strips.
Teal/turquoise is my all time favourite colour and your block just hit the spot this morning.
What a nice way to use up your aqua. I like that little bit of white, it adds a nice consistency to random blocks.
Great idea for your teals!! What a fun quilt this one will be!
Great blocks for a great cause.
Such a great idea... I hope to get to some slabs by month end but they won't be teal as I barely have any!
This block is so cool and relaxing in this color. A whole quilt would be lovely.
I love your slab block. Beautiful colors and fabrics. Such a worthy cause. I agree. This would be a very good rainbow challenge project. I'd probably opt for a 12.5" block because my square ruler template is a 12/5" square, too.
This is a beautiful, soothing color for flood victim blocks. I love this shade, but realize I have next to none of it in my stash. I don't think I would be very successful at the rainbow scrap challenge. : )
Our guild it taking on the slab blocks too. We have a month to create some and the guild will send them onto Calgary to be made into quilts. What a great idea! Love yours too. Think I will go to the sewing room and make some today!!1
Lovely slab (aka crumb) block. I've seen them around blog land and have thought they were so cheerful. I was thinking of making a couple but the postage to mail a couple of scrap blocks to Canada would probably be outrageous. A few 12.5 inch blocks for a donation quilt would be a great idea, though.
Nice Kathy, I've done exactly the same thing, a teal slab for the Calgary flood relief project.
How fun to see all your cheerful aqua scraps! I'm such a fabriholic - I get a kick out of just seeing everyone's stash!
You have lots of beautiful teal scraps, and they have become great blocks.
Great teal blocks. I got a few done too. Yes I like your idea of 12.5" blocks. I did not have the real big ruler to get 15.5", I had to put two rulers together.
Great way to combine two projects. I do love the bright blueish green of the teal fabrics. So pretty.
Such pretty blocks to add to this good cause ~
