This project actually meets 2 month's worth of color challenges - blue and yellow. And it was on my UFO list for 2025, which is a bonus!
Last weekend, I pulled out the pattern and fabrics I had gathered about 2 years ago for this Hummingbird project, and decided it was time. Well, this one really only took a couple of days to put together once I finished the cutting. Using a panel and all big pieces makes for a quick project. This was fun!
EDIT: I've added a link to the free pattern download for this quilt. It's called Chillingsworth Bicycle Race, by Andover Fabrics.

All 8 of the coin purses that were cut out last weekend are now finished. These all use scraps and leftover charm squares.
The red/white/blue blocks for the Quilt of Valor are all made too. Maybe I'll even get a couple of rows sewn together tomorrow. Today will be too busy with other activities.
It was time for some string piecing as Leaders/Enders this week. Two of the 9.5" string blocks happened in yellow for March. Ironically the yellow scrap bin is my least full one.
And a couple more blue String Triangles were added to the small stack I already had. There is a plan for these, involving vertical columns. They utilize the Tri Recs rulers so are very easy to make out of the smaller scraps.
But I'm linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge . . .
What a GREAT QUILT, Sarah. I love it. A keeper for my inspiration folder, for sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the panel pattern. It’s gorgeous. I’m looking forward to your color column triangles. I’m thinking stunning!
ReplyDeleteThe hummingbird quilt is beautiful! I love blue and yellow together, and those blocks make a fun surround for the panel. You've gotten a lot done this week!
ReplyDeleteI love your red white and blue quilt of valor. That design is on my list to make and I think this color scheme would be great. I'd also be able to gift it to QOV. Win, win!
ReplyDeleteOh your quilt with the hummingbird panel is beautiful. The blues and yellows go great with it. Congrats on your quilt top finish.
ReplyDeleteThe humming bird pane quilt turned out beautifully. Thank you for the link to the pattern. I have some very large floral prints I'm looking for patterns for. It also looks like a good one to use up a few odds and ends. You got lost done this week. Hopefully you can get in some good stitching time tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI like those triangles!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for finishing the hummingbird quilt. The pattern works well with that panel.
ReplyDeleteI am intrigued with those triangles. Love the string blocks too and how you've sewn the very light strip down the middle. Both look great!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty hummingbird quilt. Like you, I dont have much yellow either, but found enough to stitch some RSC blocks.
ReplyDeleteOf course I love the hummingbird flimsy. But all of your projects are so fun and full of color. Those strings using the Tri Recs look great.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use a panel, Sara, and kudos on your RSC scrap sewing!
ReplyDelete💛 love all of your yellow endeavours.
