week 5 yellow scraps

We have a 5th week in August for the rainbow scrap challenge. I was able to work on my monthly ufo. My stack and whack leaves. quilt is a top. I added a small orange border and a larger yellow gold border. Luckily, I had a Saturday of open sew with my guild.

56 x 64

In other news, While I was checking the leader/ ender challenge, at Quiltville. I went crazy and bought a new pattern called crackers and jam. It is a paper pieced tiny block. I didn't realize it was paper pieced when I bought it. I can use some of the tiniest scraps. So far, I enjoy making the blocks, but, again, I don't know if I have the time, considering I have so many ufos I would like to finish.

week 4 yellow scraps

Thanks to Sara, I realized I forgot the quiltville leader/ender challenge this year. It's called tulip swirl. I made a few in yellow for the month of August. I don't really have room for another block idea. But, I do have smaller 2 1/2 inch strips that I could use and see them disappear.

I made the 9 patch chaining blocks for candy chains. I have purple to go.

I was a little bold in my choices for backgrounds for rolling windmills.

square dance is finished for August. This yellow is very bright.

All the sashing pieces are done for stack and whack leaves. I am ready for borders.

yellow scraps week 3

I am adding sashing to my stack and whack leaves . I usually will do anything to avoid sashing, ( I find it tedious), but these blocks need something in between them.

I like candy chains in yellow. I still have the 9 patch chaining blocks to do.

My 2 1/2 squares drawer is 60 squares lighter after adding borders to square play

While I was piecing the borders for square play, I grabbed my 2 inch drawer of squares to make 16 patches for square dance.

yellow scraps week 2

I was able to start assembly of stack and whack leaves . I started it in 2012. It was on my ''I don't need to finish this '' list. But, I saw the colors in my project box closet, and checked how much it would take to finish it. It was doable. Interesting fabrics younger me picked.

I was tempted to just sew the purple candy chains I had cut, thinking it was going to be a purple month.

Again, I had already cut for purple, but, I really like yellow square play blocks.

While I was cutting rolling windmills, I pulled out shorter pieces for my stashbuster quilt. And, then, I cut a few sets that I pieced.

I even cut for rolling windmills.

week 2 - April pink rainbow scrap challenge

Since we have returned home from our winter break, we have spent time catching up with doctors and dentists. I needed to bring in the groceries and restock the kitchen. I am so glad that Spring has started, with a few cold hiccups. I do love Spring for all the possibilities.

I made 4 pink candy chains blocks.

I added the 2 1/2 inch square outer borders to my pink square, play blocks.

I found a little time to add the border to my yellow baby string quilt. I was so close, I just wanted to finish it. Now, the trick will be uncovering the longarm and remembering how to use it again. LOL

it's about 52 x 60

week 3 - March red rainbow scrap challenge

I have made a little progress on my projects for rainbow scrap challenge.

It is exciting to have part of the yellow baby string quilt sewn together. It will be small - just right for a baby quilt. And, I made it with leftover blocks from blue skies.

I had to dig, but, I found enough red to make candy chains blocks

I added the inner border for the square, play blocks. I miscounted the outside borders for these blocks, and I will need to find a few more 2 1/2 inch squares before I can add them to the blocks.
