Turquoise Prisms

Aqua, turquoise, lime, flashes of fuchia and green. 
It all mixes together into the mix I love. 
 All from the scrap heap, er bin. I love the sewing notions print. And the pink swirls on turquoise. 
 Here are the six finished colors so far. They make a statement! 
60" across right now before quilting.

I didn't realize you prisms are that big. Are you just strip piecing, or working on a foundation?

Very striking. who knew the simple block would be so powerful.

OH, these prisms are so pretty and mesmerizing! Great use of scraps!

Kat Scribner said...

Your strings always look so wonderful because you have such a great variety of fabrics and textures.

Turqoise prism is my favorite so far, but all of them are great and look stunning together.

You are so right that your blocks make a statement when you put them all together! Gorgeous! I noticed the sewing notions print right away, too.

It's so much fun looking at all those neat strips close up. It gives a new perspective and fun surprises. The sparkles of fuscia are specially nice. Is it the size you want? It's a good wall hanging size. Congrats on starting with strips and coming up with a cohesive look.

Love this prism's colors...this block is high on my list--I NEED to do scrap play soon--still trimming up Cass' blocks to 10.5" hugs, julierose

They are beautiful, and big. I havn't got that big scraps, so I have to make smaller blocks. I've had a busy time the last month, with not much sewing.

Love them in teal... I know I say that EVERY month!

Sally Trude said...

Oh yes. I do think I may have drooled a bit when I saw the turquoise with pink swirls.

The turquoise is so fabulous and definitely my favorite. Makes you just want to curl up in front of a fireplace with a good book and hot drink. But then you'd be screaming bloody murder since it's 100+ degrees in most places lately. On this the first official day of summer, can I just say...hurry up winter! 😇

Jayne said...

That is a gorgeous color combination! This is going to be amazing...those colors make me smile! Keep going...I know you will!

Susan said...

This is coming along very well. You've got great color combos!

Gorgeous! I love the subtlety between the opposite triangles in each block. I have lots of strings and scraps but I would have to work really hard to come up with enough similar colors to make blocks like these.
