Viridian's Chain in Aqua ~ Sew & Tell - 8/11/25

Welcome back to Melva Loves Scraps and the weekly Sew & Tell party where friends gather to share progress on projects, finishes and perhaps even some thoughtful words of wisdom.

This week was a warm one as we prepared for our second guest - Dave's sister, Sharon.  This is her first trip as a widow.  She had several stops before reaching us and has stated that she is feeling pampered and well cared for at each stop.  She has visited here before, so we didn't need to pack in as many tourist-y things for her.  

I continue with the RSC color - Teal or Aqua - I pulled out some bigger chunks of scrap fabric and decided I would try to make a quilt using Viridian's Chain Block.  Viridian shared her unique block several weeks ago and with a little encouragement from some of us, she offered a tutorial for us! Thanks Viridian! 💖

I pulled my main fabrics... and tried to sprinkle in a few colors of pop or "confetti".

Hold that thought...

Part II (the rest of the story) is HERE

I have not managed my time well. 😏

We are celebrating our 40th anniversary today (Sunday, Aug 10)...

I'll be back Monday morning to finish this story...  In the mean time... here's my Aqua Viridian's Chain Block! 



Let's start the party...

Keep Piecing,

Melva

    Happy anniversary! I like the scrappy block. I had that butterfly print--it became part of many quilts.

    Happy 40th! Did you celebrate with cake? I made a chocolate one yesterday, so I'll say it was in your honor. ;) I'm glad your SIL is being pampered on her travels. Love the Viridian blocks!!
