This is a colour that I don't often buy, don't notice at the quilt store, and used to dislike (see quilt retreat report from 2007!) But participating in the RSC has helped me to become friends with this colour and to see the benefit of using it in scrappy quilts. 
The March Aurifil BOM designer of the month is Sedif Imer and she designed a block called Harvest Block. I used some scrappy aqua fabrics to make the HSTs for this block.
Hop over to the Aurifil linkup to see more versions of the Harvest block. Also linking up to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
So lovely aqua blocks you made.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really neat block! I like the turquoise in your Aurifil blocks!
ReplyDeleteI think you have done wonderfully well with a color that is not a favorite. Sometimes we have to sew out side the "block"!
ReplyDeleteNice aquas, especially if it's not your favorite. Love the harvest block!
ReplyDeleteSuper batch of aqua blocks! For someone who didn't like it very much, you've sure managed to make beauty out of the color :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun block and your aquas are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFabulous colors in this quilt. Just gorgeous! Fun blocks.
ReplyDeleteI've always been crazy about teal but lukewarm towards aqua - which is odd since they're the same color! Your aquas look great!
ReplyDeleteYour aqua blocks are beautiful! Love the Harvest Block
ReplyDeleteFunny, as I used to feel the same way about aqua but then suddenly things changed and I am so in love with it! It goes with everything! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love your blocks in AQuA... xox
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun block design--and it looks great in aqua.
ReplyDeleteLove you fabrics....nice.
ReplyDeletepretty aqua fabrics and the sampler is looking great
ReplyDeleteIsn't it interesting how some colors just don't appeal like others? I'm not a huge fan of most blues or yellow, though the sunny/golden yellows are growing on me just a little.
ReplyDeleteI love your black/white/aqua blocks. They have a lot of interest because of the color arrangement and the patterns themselves.
I really love the Harvest Block! I love Turquoise!
