This month I have the honor of being one of Pattern by Jen’s featured bloggers for her quilt along. The February monthly color challenge is teal and is inspired by the Indigo bunting.

I don’t see these birds very often, but when I do I can’t miss them. Their vibrant teal blue color shines through the trees.

Surprisingly, while I love teal blue, I don’t have a lot of it in my fabric stash. As a result, since I’m limiting myself to only fabrics I have on hand for this challenge, I had to dig a bit to come up with these choices. I like the way they turned out.

My February Monthly Color Challenge Blocks

This year Jen added options using the monthly color and black or white, so I decided to go with two versions of the block, the one with the colors and the one with the color and white.

While I love them both, I have to say I am loving the block with the white. It really makes the design pop. It looked great with my yellow January block last month too.

While I was assembling the block, I did notice that I had to be extra careful because of all of the points. I pinned quite a bit when I was piecing it. I also had to stay pretty organized because it was easy to sew them together in the wrong direction.
