RSC24 - Week #14 and we have YELLOW


The very first bit of yellow that happened this week was prepping yellow binding for Twinkle Stars, a UFO quilt that I had just picked up from the quilter.  And since I had that yellow yardage out, I also made a Kitty block, then a Zipper, and some Loose Goose blocks.  I'm about half way around the quilt, hand stitching the binding. 
 

A couple more Zipper blocks were made later in the week using some scraps and a couple of random jelly roll strips.  Only 1 of the strips was actually yellow, but the orange strip was right there too, so . . . it just sort of happened. LOL  Actually there is a whole little bundle of random jelly roll strips in various colors just waiting to become something.


There are 4 of the 16-patch units in yellow, and one of them has now been set into the center of a churn dash block.  Maybe the other 3 will happen next week.


A couple of the fabric pieces from the grey tote were just ideal for more kitty blocks.  That yellow dot must have been something I bought a lot of at some point because there is another chunk of it in the yellow stash drawer.  I added 2 more of the small Loose Goose blocks, and cut a couple of 2.5 x 4.5 bricks for the little box full of bricks. 


Later in the week I took a much needed break from costume design, and made 3 more of the kitty blocks.  The yellow print was in the scrap bin, but the purple print and the grey multi-color print were both found in the dreaded tote.  There is actually about a half yard of that multi-color left, but it has been folded neatly and added to the stash in the appropriate drawer.  One chunk of forgotten fabric at a time, and eventually the "Big Grey Tote" will be empty.  That's my goal.

Isn't it fun to start playing with a new color?  Check out more Rainbow fun . . .

  3. Lots of fun yellow sewing going on at your house, Sarah! I love those cats - in any color. I think I remember that you're making them from the Missouri Star tutorial - are you starting with 10 inch squares?

  8. The 4 x 4 looks great as the churn dash center. But oh, those cats! I'm a sucker for that pattern. I particularly loved the magenta one. Wouldn't it be fun to have a cat that color?
