Rainbow Challenge August Turquoise Blocks

I didn't realize how much I liked turquoise, teal and aqua until this month's rainbow challenge. Such calming colors. Since I was pretty much out of this color, scraps and stash, I bought 3 pieces of turquoise themed fabric, each half a yard. Then I was able to made three blocks, cut some strips to add to my strip collection for a rainbow challenge jelly roll race quilt in December ... and have a little turquoise fabric in my stash.
To see what others have made with their turquoise stash and scraps, go here.

    Looking good! You're right they are a lovely calming colour and I could head off to the beach too - pity its pouring with rain outside or I could wander down to the beach (about 10 mins walk for me), all be it a pebble beach but still nice!!

    Great blocks. I like the bit of lime coming in to them.

    Love your blocks. Too bad you had to go out and get more fabric;) Now you'll have a few scraps for next time. The colors are just lovely though, so fresh and fun.

    Very pretty blocks. Like you I didn't realize how much I teal/turquoise. I have almost none in my stash. I'll have to fix that in the future.
