Aqua Under Construction

I spent lots of time doing prep work last weekend.  I got all of this month's Rainbow Scrap Challenge scrappy houses cut out and ready for sewing, along with a big batch of leader-ender spools.  When Friday afternoon rolled around, I had my weekend sewing all packed and ready to go to the camp.

Unfortunately, I must've been in a daze when I cut the pieces for this Happy, Scrappy House!  The window and two of the "sky" pieces are missing.  The block will have to remain Under Construction until I get home and cut the missing pieces. 

The leader-ender spools will have to wait until I get home, too.  The piecing feet on the sewing machines I have at camp are just not conducive to making those diagonal seams.  

Fortunately, I have other projects at the camp calling for my attention.  I see from a previous blog post this quilt has been under construction for over a year!  The above blocks are the last pieced border, so the finish line is in sight.  Not exactly scrappy sewing, but one has to improvise when away from home!

So I think I'll pour a glass of wine and go see what kinds of scrappy sewing the Rainbow Scrappers have been up to this week.  Have a virtual glass and join me over at Angela's for some scrappy show & tell!

Oh - did you think I forgot this week's New Orleans house?!  How 'bout a turquoise Bungalow-style double?  Wouldn't you have to smile coming up the sidewalk to this house after work every day?  I think maybe the front garden needs a few pink lawn flamingoes!
