ScrapHappy Saturday

Springing up Green
 I dug out the green basket again.  It was all tidy and neat from January, so I was able to quickly dig out the darker scraps and cut them into the sizes I will need this month. 
 I've got a good start on the nine patches made from 2 inch squares.  Still more time for the rest. 
 These snails trails blocks are seeing most of my effort right now.  80% of the blocks are done and the rest are in progress.  Hopefully there will be a new flimsy before the end of the weekend. 
 Our daily beach walk has shifted to sunrise.  The beach parking is open again and things are starting to get super crowded. 
We've been enjoying watching all of the new turtle nests pop up each day.  They mark each one off with a huge square of caution tape.  It used to be just a simple stake in the sand, but I think they are being more cautious this year because beach re-nourishment equipment is still out and about.  
AP testing starts on Monday though mine isn't for another week.  The kids are all testing online from home this year which is a strange new experience for us all.  SO many strange new experiences these days, but we just keep adapting and waiting.

Such a beautiful spot for an early morning beach walk! Love your Snail's Trail blocks, too. They're going to make the perfect quilt for your beachside home!

I've also wanted to do a snail's tail quilt! It just gets put off for other projects for some reason. I love the colors you are using! It is tempting me to start one. Ahh! To wake up every morning to a beautiful beach sunrise! Happy Teacher's Appreciation Week!

I used most of my greens in January but I have enough for a sage green dumpster diving block. Will make the second one from a completely different color. And no placemats this month - that's okay, I have a big stack already done.

Your snails trail is beautiful! Long ago I made a rainbow version that hangs in a bedroom. I love those blocks.

"beach re-nourishment equipment"? What does that mean?

Snails tails is looking great! A perfect pattern and color for the beach. I'm going to miss seeing the turtle mounds this year. Stay safe.
