ScrapHappy Saturday - Bright and Light Green

First let me announce the winner of the hand dyed fabric giveaway sponsored by Vicki Welsh.  Thanks to the highly scientific number generator at Random.org, the lucky winner this month will be Edith at Inch by Inch Quilting.  Congratulations Edith, if you will send me your mailing address I will pop your fabric in the mail.
Playing with light and bright green has been fun this week.  I'm back to work again on Monday, so trying to enjoy every last minute is high on my list right now.  So far I've made lots of postage stamp blocks along with some leader and enders blocks that aren't quite nine patches yet.  I've been trying to get a head start on sampler blocks too, just in case things get carried away after the start of school.  I am enjoying the scheduling feature of blogger quite a bit right now.
The kids wanted to have a garage sale this weekend.  It is an excellent excuse to get rid of things, but boy is it hot outside right now!  Hopefully Dad will take a shift this morning for a bit before football practice.  I'm not out of green quite yet, a little more sewing time sure would be handy.

How are your green scraps coming along?  Use mister linky below to share your progress so far.

I really like your postage stamp blocks. Isn't it fun just to stitch those squares together. I like the schedule feature too, it makes it easier to plan to ahead like you say when you know you will be to busy.

Congratulations to Edith! I can't believe that you have school starting on Monday already. Where did the summer go!!!

Your postage stamp blocks have turned out great. That may be an idea to use up all the tiny bits and pieces I still have in the sewing room. Have fun when school starts back up next week!

Garage sales can definitely be hot work - we've done many through the years.

Good luck with the start of a new school year - the kids here have been back for a week now. We're all getting used to the busses on the roads again . . .

Beautiful arrangement of green postage stamp blocks. I guess they're the size of a postage stamp, but what size is that?
Thanks for the tip, I'm now going to check out Blogger scheduler.

What an amazing range of green in the block this week. Hope you had a successful garage sale and enjoy yours working week!

The more I see your postage stamp blocks, the more I like them. Hope the first week back to work has gone smoothly.

You sure so seem to sew a lot! I wish I had that much time to put in to it.
I have so many projects that I want to work on all at once.
Linking up my progress so far this month on my green hexies.
