Aqua Month

What is aqua? I have lots of blue fabric, navy blue, sky blue, denim blue, light blue, but aqua? It's a rare one.

This is all I could gather of aqua and light blue. Not one piece sewn yet! Sigh! 

On the left, a regular Ziploc bag full of blue for size. 

I was busy cutting. Cutting!! 

Remember this poor Multi-coloured Scrap basket? 

And now! 

I fold the rim a bit so you can see the dark fabric on top. Almost half of it is gone. Cut, cut, and cut. In front of the basket are 99 pieces of 6.5" scraps. Two sets of 3 same (or almost) fabric are missing to have 3 kits of 35 pieces each. Not all of the squares came out of this basket, but it sure gave its fair share. 

When the pieces were smaller than 6.5", they were added to these containers. 

Running out of containers so I'm using some envelope boxes from the office. Squares and strips are together because the boxes holding the squares are full. (Note: need to find better containers.) The 2" box also has the 2" strips and the 4" strips. Ditto for the 2.5" box with strips and 5" squares. Three inches are in the plastic containers. There's also a container for the 4.5'', the 5.5", and the 6". 

Some scrap gifted bags were emptied; many more to go. All this preparation is for the "Building Kits Day" that I would like to do with the girls at our group. I have a plan and hope it works. 

This lone Bonus Point block was finished when I pushed some red fabric under the needle. 

That's all I got for you this week. 

This weekend, my intentions are to sit and sew some aqua blocks. I hope you get a chance to do it too. 

Enjoy! ;^)
