Not nearly as much aqua happening in my sewing room this week as I had hoped. The catnip block is done. The fabric in that left side cat is questionable, but I'm going to leave it. I debated with my self before sewing that one onto the others, and considered switching it out with a different fabric. But I've decided it's OK,
The past couple of months I've neglected the Gameboard block set completely. The last one I made was red. But an aqua one has been added. And a couple of Hollow 9-patch blocks and Vintage Spool blocks happened too.
Digging into the little basket full of leftover 6" string blocks, I got the idea to make placemats with some of them. I had only 3 aqua/teal string blocks left, so they were paired with 3 black ones. Aqua Hollow 9's were added to the leftover orange string blocks for the other placemat. After taking this photo I pulled some binding (also leftovers), and attached the bindings to these so they are ready for a finish.
Most of my week was actually spent dealing with scraps - but of the red, white, and blue kind of scraps. I cut kits for 2 Quilts of Valor, and yesterday I cut the parts for sashing, cornerstones, and a border for 1 more QOV kit. The parts for LOTS more blocks for my own QOV projects happened too. One would think that would have tamed those RWB scraps and stash. NOT enough taming, but I'm getting there. At least it's sorted into more easily searched bins now. The lids actually close now too, so I guess it's a sign of progress.
Can't wait to see what color we'll be playing with for August. In the meantime let's go check out more Rainbow fun . . .

I LOVE the marble cat. It reminds me of the Bengal cats or some tabbies and their lovely colouring. It sounds like you had a very productive week, well done!
The catnip block is really cool. I like all three kitties, very fun fabrics. I have this on on my want to make list. Probably won't be till next year. I'm hoping to make some better progress on my UFO list before I start too many fun projects.
