This is the first Project Quilting challenge that I’ve been able to participate in this year. In January I had to be away for two and a half weeks in California due to a family emergency, and just this past week I felt that I had enough space in my schedule to join a challenge. And it is the perfect challenge for turquoise-loving me: the Birthstone Challenge! I’m a March baby, so I was able to incorporate the aquamarine color along with some turquoises and teals. Earlier this week I drafted a triangle log cabin block for the SAHRR 2025: Round 5, and I liked it so much that I decided to increase the size to a 6″ block for this Birthstone Challenge. I decided to hand-quilt it which was a challenge in itself wielding the needle through two layers of cotton (mostly Kona Oasis) and some 80/20 batting. But I’m very pleased with the overall effect. I then stapled it to an 8 inch blank canvas, and it looks rather hideous, so there’s no photo of the back! But here is the front:

I’m a June baby but love aquamarine and all the teal and turquoise colors. Your triangle is just beautiful, and the stitching looks Sashiko-esque. Nice!

I really loved the triangle FPP you designed and think it’s a great choice to use it again for this PQ prompt. Delightful!
