On this dark rainy day it made sense that sewing for RSC14 was what caught my eye while reading my blog roll this morning. So after some housekeeping this morning and attending my last graduation party of the season this afternoon I made some time to pull out my yellow scraps and sew.
Here are the 3 blocks I've completed so far:
I think my favorite one is the Wacky Pinwheel on the left because of the fun polka dot fabric. I've made 2 quilts in the last year using the Bright Hopes block on the top right so that was a quick one using my 2.5" remnant strip bin. The other block is called Framed Four Patch.
We have a thunderstorm moving in so my pictures are rather dark. I've also pulled out my charm bin to select some yellow charms to make my chevron stripe in bright yellow.
I have to go all the way back to January to show you my blue chevron stripe. I'm planning a ROYGBIV quilt using these for Project Linus.
Making these blocks is so much fun... hopefully I can play catch up the rest of the year!
I've always loved to make things. Join me while I reboot my creativity, create a new quilting room and tackle LOTS of unfinished projects.
Your yellows are very bright. I look forward to see more yellow blocks.
ReplyDeleteJust look at all those delicious yellow charms! You are going to have so much fun this month. How to decide which ones to use?
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing yellow used in blocks. So warming! Love your organisation of charm squares.
ReplyDeleteI think I like the framed 4 patch best but the pinwheel is fun too. And your idea for the rainbow chevron is very good - a terrific plan for a kid's quilt.
ReplyDeleteYes I like the Yellow in the Wacky pinwheel block. Good looking blocks. Love the plan of the chevron too.
ReplyDeleteI had problems getting bright photos too Deb :) Love your box of charms - yum!!! And they make cute chevron rows. I'm betting you can catch up - and I can't wait to see the rows all together!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! Your color choices are perfect.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Those yellows chevrons will go great with the blue when you get them made. It is a great polka dot fabric you found for the Wacky Pinwheel -- so fun.
ReplyDeleteThe polka dots in the Wacky Pinwheel spoke to me too! All these blocks are so happy!
ReplyDeleteGoing to be a great quilt!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you doing some sewing. These blocks look like fun. My favorite is that framed four patch,
ReplyDeleteYour yellow blocks look great, I really like your version of Wacky Pinwheel.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look great - I too really like the dot fabric. I have lots of catching up to do for the RSC as well!
ReplyDeleteLove your fabrics and blocks.
ReplyDeleteI haven't even looked at my yellows yet! LOL!! Nor my ALYoF...maybe I'll have a productive sewing weekend??? :) Yours are looking awesome and love the variety of blocks.
ReplyDeletePS I especially like the chevrons...THAT is going to be an awesome quilt!
