RSC Week 11 - Green Updates

Another GREEN week, inside as well as outside. 
It has been raining and Friday at around midnight we had a spectacular thunderstorm that lasted about 2-3 hours. Some fishermen were interviewed on the news, they said they'd never experienced such a heavy thunderstorm. 

March is the Green month. RSC (Rainbow Scrap Challenge) hosted by Angela over at SOS Scrappy.

Rainy days and what is better than stay inside playing with stash?!
I have finished the 48 Churn Dash blocks for the boy's quilt. 


Churn Dash blocks are fun and quite fast to make. 


Some leftover pieces I plan to use for a pieced backing


Table scraps turned into big crumb block!  


... and a small one! The crumb blocks are for the backing too. 

Some rectangles I didn't need for the Churn Dash blocks


I turned them into a small table topper 


...and a smaller one, all batiks. I love these greens, 'sour' greens, as I call these bright green colors. 


A pillow cover top for my friend in Norway, it has two different greens.


More green emerged from the shelf! It's going to be some round placemats for my shop


...and outside; avocados from the tree!

A beautiful array of greens. Even Santa Claus was invited and avocados too! All your projects are lovely. Will you hand-quilt the pillow? Enjoy! ;^)

I loved the crumble block! It is good to be sewing when weather is not nice.

You've made great use of a lot of green fabrics. How lucky to have an avocado tree, too.

Love how you used your greens! So neat that you can grow your own avocado!

Love that green batik table topper. Only a little bit of green starting to emerge from the soil here. Next week lots of rain is coming our way.

I have to say I envy you... Avocados from the tree... couldn't be better.
Your placemats are great... love this style. Lovely cushion cover, the recipient will be delighted.
We're headed for the weekend. Greetings to you and hug.
