Rounding out the month of Aqua at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, are my chandelier blocks.
(The pattern came from Stitch Therapy)
We've used four colors of scraps so far: red, green, yellow and now Aqua. In my last RSC post I put a description of Aqua lovers. I have lots of it around the house in chairs, dishes, vases, decorations, towels, clothing, etc.
the blocks are very simple, and will be set on point to look like the beaded curtains of my youth.
I'm doing about 12 of each color
each one with little surprises in them
since they finish at 6" I figure 10 months of them will give me a start on a bed quilt.
The rainbow scrap challenge is monthly and we all make our own blocks in that month's color. Find the other makers at

This quilt is going to be absolutely beautiful. Love this little block!
I'm having fun with this block, too. It's a great scrap buster.
Wow that is gorgeous. Someone has been tempting me and now I see this and want to make one also. Gorgeous!
The "beaded curtains of my youth"! I hear ya! Love your blocks together!
This is making a nice scrappy quilt ... :) Pat
That is going to be a fabulous quilt!
Pretty! I like how these blocks are coming along.
It's going to be a stunning quilt. I love the little inclusions.

Awesome blocks! I’m going to add those to my repertoire for next year!
I love this pattern so pretty--you have a nice start on it...hugs, Julierose
I like those blocks, too - especially the fun you can have with the center pieces! And the shape really does remind me of a curtain of beads!
They look like dangly earrings. Such lovely, clear colors show so well on white. Good job; more will be better!
C.U.T.E LeeAnna!! So darn cute - I love this. Every.single.thing.about.it. But especially the fun colors, fabrics and layout. ~smile~ Roseanne
Isn’t it exciting when you have enough blocks made that you can begin to see the end result. This will be a stunning quilt.
I haven't laid mine all out yet. I have a few backgrounds that may not play well with others, so I may need to replace a couple, but I'll wait until the end to decide. It actually snowed a bit this morning and more is expected tomorrow. I'm bummed.

Love, love, LOVE that addition of AQUA to your set of blocks, LeeAnna!!

It's a lovely pattern, such a beautiful quilt to be!
Such pretty blocks. I love turquoise.
Those chandelier blocks are looking amazing. It is one that is on my RSC list too. Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!
The colors are beautiful. This one will be fun to watch come together.
These blocks make my heart so happy! All lined up and all of the different colors... Just so wonderful!
Wow! I really like this quilt block!
Perfect timing! My daughter was just trying to explain chandelier blocks to me and wala! You posted about them! I love your colors! They look so happy. Thank you for sharing.
