Yellow . . . such a cheerful color to play with this month.
Who Found the Catnip came together quickly since all the pieces were cut and arranged on the design board in the correct spots.
The 4 Snails Trail blocks are finished. I chose 2 yellows that were buttery, and the other 2 are more on the gold side. The one bottom right looks almost brown in this photo. That wasn't my intention so we'll see how it plays with the other colors. If I have to replace it with a brighter color it isn't the end of the world.
Going through the 2.5" square bin, I realized that I didn't have many yellow ones left. There were enough for just a couple of Hollow-9 blocks. The bin is nearly full yet, but just not with yellow. I think I used most of them up when I finished the blocks for the Hollow-9 quilt a couple of months ago.
A few Vintage Spools have been finished this week too. Notice, there is a little purple in these as well to ease into next month.
There has been a squirrel trying to get into my sewing room the past couple of days. I blame Pinterest. While looking for something else this week, I came across an awesome scrappy quilt made with a variation on the Potato Chip blocks. It had a black center square, and only 1 round of "chips" in colors. The blocks were separated with a narrow black sashing and colorful little cornerstones. Ironically I had just been "gifted" with nearly 2 yards of a black solid fabric, and obviously Pinterest heard me thinking about how I would use that black. And I already had an overflowing little box of the chips cut from project leftovers.
Let's go check out more Rainbow fun . . .

The Catnip block is so cute! I'm looking forward to seeing all those bright kitties come together in a quilt. You made good use of your yellow scraps. Squirrels are hard to resist, you definitely found a fun one. If it uses up scraps it can't be a bad new start.
This was a nice bright sunny post to go with the dark wet morning here while I had coffee and breakfast. Love all the pretty yellows. Your new squirrel block has some great possibilities too.
I love the kitties in yellow. Love the print on the right and the polka-dot, of course! In the whole picture, the brownish snail will probably blend in. Time will tell. Isn't Pinterest sweet to come to your rescue and offer some help with the black fabric? Lol. I like where you are going with this one. Enjoy! ;^)
All kinds of pretty yellows in your sewing room this week! I always love the cats - especially this big dotty one. I've seen someone else making those last blocks for an RSC project, and she said she liked them because you can set them so no seams need to be matched!
Incredible array of yellow blocks! I love the squirrel that is calling to you! lol
the kitties looks really good!
I do like your happy cat blocks. I've yet to jump on the potato chip wagon, and I like this variation with the centre square.
Pretty yellow blocks happened in your sewing room! Those yellow cats are adorable, Sara! The squirrel was clever to call you for such a fun new project!
Fun yellow blocks. I'm intrigued by the Potato Chip variation. It sounds very fun.
