Scrap Happy Saturday: It's Been a Long, Green Trip

Green was the scrappy color of the month for August, specifically light and bright green.  I already used light and bright green scraps when we visited green earlier this year, so I didn't have the range of scraps to make all of this month's Rainbow Sampler blocks.  
I did make the Bouncing Betty block with some light green scraps.

Still, I had no lack of green scraps to use up.  I finished piecing my green Trip Around the World quilt - and I still have lots of green scraps left!  It was raining yesterday, so I took pictures of the quilt top draped over my sofa.  Maybe I can get some outdoor pictures while I'm at the camp this weekend. 
The quilt is made of 36 twelve inch TATW blocks.  I added a one inch border and a six inch border of  half TATW blocks (which are really just 9 patches).  The finished size is about 86" x 86". 

As always, the Happy Scrappers are sharing their green scrappy adventures over at Angela's Scrap Happy blog.  And if you look carefully, you might see a hint about the scrappy color for September!
