My yellow scrap bin wasn't overflowing like some of the other colors, and the stash drawer with yellow isn't as full either. But there is still plenty to choose from. And I have a good start on my February RSC blocks.
"Home Is . . ." is a Pat Sloan block that she shared as part of one of her Sew Alongs this winter. I love the house block with the little heart coming out of the chimney. So far the only other block from that series that I might make is a courthouse steps with a cat or dog silhouette appliqued. I could use all of RSC colors in the steps to make it kind of a centerpiece to mix in with the house blocks.
And of course more Ohio Star blocks had to happen. I like making these blocks so much that I'm thinking instead of just making a few to enlarge the existing flimsy, maybe I'll just make a second quilt. The first one is a great size already for a large couch throw or child's quilt - approximately 50 x 60.
So, this UFO will be finished at this size and I'll focus on making enough blocks to make a second quilt. These will be good donation quilts.
What a nice array of sunny yellow! The Ohio Star flimsy looks great -- I like the dark-background blocks sprinkled among the light-background ones.
ReplyDeleteOh I love the yellow! So bright and cheerful! I see you are getting lots done after you cleaned off your work area! Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteYellow is such a “happy” color. Love the blocks you made and the Ohio Star quilt top.
