Don't we all have favorite color combinations? For example, I sew with bright saturated color a lot, mixing them with black or white usually. And I sew a lot with red/white/blue because I do a lot of Quilt of Valor projects.
But there is another color combo I love, but haven't used in a quilt before. Blue and yellow look great together. And those colors are my college alma matter colors, so I wear that royal blue quite often. And now I have another reason to combine those colors because of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. February's color was blue, and the March color was just announced - and it's yellow!! Yay!!
Yesterday morning I showed this project box with a UFO in it. The pattern was tucked in under all the fabric so it was ready to cut and start sewing. I jumped in and got a start on the Hummingbird project. It uses a panel and large pieces so I expected it to go together pretty quickly. But it was even quicker than I imagined.
Monday afternoon I cut most of the pieces, and Tuesday morning I cut the rest and started sewing. By noon it looked like this. The pattern has 3 borders, but I'm considering only using 1 border. The pieces are cut for that first border so once it's on I'll decide if I want to go ahead with the other 2 borders or stop at just 1.

Blue and yellow is one of my favorite color combinations too (those were my wedding colors). You picked a great set of fabrics and pattern to make that humming bird panel sing (sorry couldn't resist).
I agree, blue & yellow is a wonderful color combination. Your small hummingbird quilt is a real beauty to display in your home, happy stitching!
Such a pretty panel, and perfectly-timed for RSC yellow! And, yes, blue/yellow is a great combination. Hope your week is going well.
Blue and yellow are beautiful together. I love how quickly this project is coming together.
