Almost 50 Shades of Envy (or Spewing Green Chunks)

I added a few more 12 inch green Dandy blocks  this week to my pile. I have several  chunks (less than a FQ on most of them) of green I'm trying to use up. 

I figured if I end up with 50 or more blocks I would call the quilt Fifty Shades of Envy.  That's probably a lot better than calling it Spewing Green Chunks. 

(Wouldn't it have been nice if I had those two tree fabrics turned right side up for the photo shoot? They are hardly recognizable as trees. )


 Lucky me...I won a few of Vicki's  hand-dyed "scraps" when she was hosting the HSTeria Sewalong so I used up her green scraps  (plus some navy Kona)  and made more half blocks for my Birds in the Air quilt I previously blogged about on July 25. 

Got Scraps?
This month's RSC color is green (light and bright). But any green will do. 
Use up those scraps and show us what you've made each ScrapHappy Saturday.

I'm going with blue-green this month (I used the others back in May).

I agree about Vicki's hand dyes, so vibrant and wonderful. You have a great assortment of greens for your Green with envy quilt.

Love your new name for the green quilt.... although the other name makes me chuckle! Great blocks - you have had fun playing this week.
