Scrappy Saturday

It's aqua month over at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and for some unknown reason, most of my projects at the moment involve aqua, so the scraps are everywhere!
First I got a lovely surprise package in the mail from Sarah from Hands2Help Charity Quilt Challenge. Just look at these pretty Kate Spain fabrics which are mostly aqua, with a bit of lime and purple. The colours reminded me of a triangle quilt I made in 2009, and the Starburst quilt made in 2015. I searched around in the scrap bins and found the leftover blocks and scraps from both of those projects! It's a disaster in my quilt studio but miraculously I can usually find things I need!
Here are all the pieces I found. The plan is to combine the Kate Spain fabrics with the leftovers from these two finished quilts. It's so fun to make an improv quilt using this process. It's kind of like looking in the refrigerator and making a casserole from whatever is in there. You never know how it's going to turn out! 
I also finished up some quarter square triangles for the next border on my Clarissa quilt.

 To see more aqua projects in the making, hop over to the weekly RSC link up.

    I am drawn to fabrics in the aqua line. It as been a popular color available for purchase. Color ranges seem to go in cycles as to what is available.

    boy I would have a hard time finding aqua in my fabric stash. I wonder why it is a great color. Kate Spain has great fabrics.

    Such a lovely group of colors--soothing to the soul, IMHO.
    Love the casserole analogy. Can't wait to see what comes of your leftovers. :)

    Great idea to combine your winnings with leftover blocks from previous projects. I’ve got 2 Kate Spain charm packs and lots of aqua/teal chunks. Hmmmm.......

    Nice thank you prize from H2H! Glad those new fabrics will coordinate so well with the rest of your stash. Aqua/turquoise is just such a versatile color :)

    don't mean to make you blue, but the colored words just disappear on the screen. Love looking at the pictures though.

    These are so pretty! I love the way it looks with the white background. I have aqua, lime and turquoise fabric I have collected for a triangle quilt, but now I am wondering if I should add white!
