Teal Bags and Yellow Butterflies

I finished the last of my February teal/aqua Rainbow Scrap Challenge sewing before we went away last week, but didn’t have time to  blog about it.  So here they are  – two teal drawstring bags for donation to Foster Hope children.  I’ll add these to the others I had made prior to Christmas, so will need to make a drop off shortly.

Two more bags for Foster Hope

Angela from RSC chose the colours yellow/gold for March, so I was all ready to get stitching, starting with my butterfly fabrics.  First up were some little four patch/cross blocks using my multi-coloured butterflies on white background fabric.  And yes, there were some butterflies with touches of yellow in these fabrics.

Made so far

I’m also stitching “Puss in the Corner”, nice simple blocks, and found four yellow/gold pieces in the big bag of butterfly fabric I was gifted.

I’ve several other RSC projects on the go, and hopefully will start on more blocks next week.

No doubt those pretty little bags will be appreciated by a couple children, and those yellow and other-colored butterfly blocks look so sweet - like little ribboned packages. It's nice to make simple blocks because they always come together effectively for a lovely quilt.

So many butterfly prints! Such pretty blocks! Your bags for Foster Hope will be well used and so much better than plastic trash bags that are often used!
