Crossroads in Teal

My fling with teal for RSC13 has come to a close... and I have already started stocking up on shades of teal in my stash because I love, love, love teal!!
Yes, I know I've said that other months too about other equally lovely colors, but sewing with teal this month makes me want to surround myself with it and wear it every day! I'm obsessed.
I had enough scraps to make 8 Crossroads blocks (tutorial HERE). After 7 months of making these blocks I am still fascinated by how they look together.
I'm not doing any Birds in the Air blocks in teal until I sit down and count up my blocks and figure out how to use the rest of my background fabric that I posted about last Saturday. I definitely want some red blocks in the mix and will see what other colors are coming our way. I might break down and cut up some teal stash in the end!

Goodbye sweet teal... I'm linking up to ScrapHappy Saturday@so scrappy.

    That Crossroads is such a fun pattern!!! Teal/aqua is my absolutely most favorite color. Like you, I could surround myself with it :*) So it's kind of sad that I've been traveling so much this month that I haven't even been able to pull out my scraps! I'm hoping to play with them a little later today.

    Those crossroads blocks look great together. I could see myself just wandering their pathways for hours.

    Your Crossroads blocks look great. I have enjoyed seeing them every month and am thinking it is a pattern I will have to try.

    I like to go wild with teal, pairing it with red-orange against a black background. Your quilt is looking very nice. Keep going! You're going to have a winner on your hands!
