Rainbow Scrap Challenge and UFOs in Progress

 



There was not a lot of construction this week in the yellow housing complex.  I did make 3 more yellow plus blocks to fill in some gaps to complete the Row Quilt from some orphan blocks .



The Chick Block was made years ago and never used, so I thought Yellow February was a good time to highlight it here.





The rows below are sewn together with  4.5, 9  and 12 inch blocks. The 12 inch blocks are from Lori Holt's FARM GIRL VINTAGE book and made a few years ago.


The stars points were made with leftover triangles mostly from bindings.


The rows are just laying on top of the pink fabric which is auditioning for the background role :)



Originally I was going to set the 12 inch blocks like this ( picture below), but wanted to get some of those smaller stars and nine patches used up.


The DOUBLE DOUBLE 4-PATCH has finally become a top/flimsy.


The KAFFE HST QUILT is hand quilted ..



..and the binding bought. So excited to use this fun binding fabric.



My TINY TUESDAY  from last year is getting closer to a finishing plan. Ooops, the main part is upside down!



That's better




Happy Sewing everyone.

Rainbow Scrap Challenge ... YELLOW HOUSES

 Yellow is the colour of the month... I don't have a lot of yellow so I'm stretching the rules a bit and using some golds as well.  I managed 38 Tiny Houses in varying degrees of yellow this week.  You need to look closely to find the yellow in a few of them!

 






I have a few fat quarters with loosely scattered yellow dots, They've been on the shelf for a while, now one of them is cut  up for the house backgrounds.

Check out Angela's Rainbow Scrap Challenge Link below to see what all the other scrappy quilters are whipping up with their yellows.

 


I keep saying I'm going to use up some orphan blocks, so some of the smaller ones are up on the wall, inspiration has not struck me yet.



On the other wall, blocks for my second scrappy Double Double 4 patch are organized ( a term used roughly, lol).  Finally I have started assembling the rows.  Hopefully I'll have some progress to post on that next week!
