Finishing up yellow blocks for RSC

 The Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for February is sunny yellow, and it's been a good color to ward off the winter blues around here.  These 5 yellow blocks joined the collection this week.  And all of the yellow fabrics are folded neatly and back in the drawer or in the yellow scrap bin.  I do have yellow pieces for a couple more of the tulip blocks cut but NOT just laying on my cutting station - which is completely clean now for 2 whole weeks!!  It's a miracle!


I'm so excited about these Gingham blocks and just couldn't resist laying them out to see how they play together.  And they look really good in my humble opinion.  Putting a narrow frame around each block really made a big difference in the look, and I'm so glad I went back to frame the first ones made.  


I think 3 more months of RSC colors (6 blocks total), and I'll put this top together with a 5 x 6 layout.  The blocks are all 12" finished, so it will make a decent sized quilt.  I'm eager to see this one finished.
