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.

Friday finish

The sun was actually shining, so I took a couple pictures of the butterfly quilt I finished for my Granddaughter. It was a buggy barn stack and whack pattern, that I had as a workshop a few years ago. I didn't finish it because I was certain I had not done a very good job. But, when I added borders and quilted it, it was pretty square, and I had worried for no good reason. Now, I think it is great. I need to remember that every quilt is so much better after it is finished - it's magic!

I am trying to make more interesting labels for each of the Grandchildren quilts this year. I found a stationary printable with butterflies and printed it on ink jet fabric. I am so inspired by Kate's labels on her blog life in pieces that I wanted to try myself. Here she describes her method
