First, a rainbow finish inspired our host, Angela. I got the binding sewed onto “Diamond Strings”, which I’ve been working on here & there for the last couple years. It was a fun project!
My hubby gave me the book “Splash of Color” by Jackie Kunkel a few years ago because I want to make every quilt in it. They are all black & white with splashes of color. To that end, I have been collecting pieces of black on white whenever I see them on sale. I used a bunch for the Sun Print quilt last year, but with plenty leftover, I’m embarking on this quilt called “Hip to be Square”. There is no pink, so this is the first month. I cut all the pieces last month, so they are just hanging out in a project box to be sewn together. There are 9 blocks & 4 half blocks for the edges.
A yellow row accomplished on the zig-zag quilt from Diann at Little Penguin Quilts. No Nearly LeMoyne blocks this month as there is no yellow in the Free Spirit scrap box I’m using for that project.
By ripping apart the old project & repairing 7 of them, then constructing 2 new ones, I have 9 cross blocks for the too-be-determined cross quilt. Yes, the bottom block has an extra gray column. Since I don’t know how I’m sashing it, I didn’t unpick that until I decide.
And that finishes up my yellow projects for the month with a week to spare! On to some WIPs that need some attention.
Your yellows are happy as can be! Glad you’re continuing on with the zigzag quilt, too. I’m tempted to make another one as I gave mine away!
Congrats on your RSC quilt finish and SEW much YELLOW sewing!!
Beautiful Rainbow finish! Your yellow blocks look so fun and cheerful with the blacks and greys.
I have that book too but sadly have not made anything from it so far. I actually retrieved it from the bookshelf recently and flicked ghough, admiring the lovely quilts inside. One day perhaps……
Very pretty blocks. I love how cheerful your yellows are. Some of mine are pretty pale and others are greenish yellow. Let’s just call them garish. You’re going end up with some really nice quilts!
I love the yellow with black and white.
Sue, your finish is absolutely stunning! Thank you so much for sharing!
