RSC 2026: July # 1

Hi Quilting Friends,

The Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for July is AQUA. My AQUA scrap basket is currently filled to the brim, and overflowing. I wonder if I’ll even notice that some scraps have been used. . .

Zipper Bag

I found two AQUA and gray orphan blocks in the orphanage drawer, so that’s the starting point for this aqua zipper bag.

I pulled out my 1.5″ AQUA scraps and used a nice pile of them to frame the blocks, enlarging both sides to create the bag sections.

The bag sections are quilted with variegated thread in aqua, blue, and green, using a loose meander.

The bag lining is a cute AQUA bee print, leftovers from a baby quilt that I made a long time ago.  (The “baby” will be 20 in August.)

I hope that you’re having a nice weekend!  We’re heading to the lake, visiting friends and spending the Fourth together.  Happy 250th, USA!

Happy quilting,

Sharon
