Yellow = Sunshine = Happiness

I have so enjoyed working with my yellow string blocks (as leaders and enders) this week as I move toward the finish line with RRCB.

This Roll Roll Cotton Boll is so close to being a quilt top. You have to love a pattern whose first call to action is to make 600 hst's. These are now sewn into the surround for each of the 30 center blocks. 
And all of the string blocks are made, and setting triangles (this pattern is set on point) also set aside.

Sunday I will be having a Sew-What-Ever day with my bee-group. It could be a quilt top by 5 pm.

But all the whilst I was doing that I would nip in and out of my yellow scraps to complete the two RSC15 scrap blocks, Air Castle and Monkey Wrench. I realize that the Monkey Wrench/Sawtooth Points are made with the luscious Michael Miller Dots...which I have had a complete collection of in every colour for how many years...and what was I planning to do with this whole bin of loveliness? So it is not exactly a scrap, but it is time to cut it up and get into quilts that my family and I can enjoy.

As well as my two RSC15 blocks, there are also the two 16 patch/Sawtooth Stars ready and waiting.

I have linked up with other yellow happiness over at SoScrappy.

Love and hugs
Kathy

    Can't wait to see your RRCB! All your stars look great - I especially like the one with the black & white cat fabric!

    It looks like you had TONS of FUN in your sewing room this week!! Each project is an inspiration to me. RRCB has been on my list for some time and your YELLOW blocks are all sunshine and daffodils. :o))

    Are you going to put your RRCB in the Edmonton guild show? It is looking good. I have in blocks. I hope to finish at least on Bonnie Hunter quilt for the show. Love the string blocks in yellow.

    I really like the black and white prints for background in the saw tooth star blocks. Looking so good.

    So glad you are enjoying your fabrics rather than saving them. What lovely blocks!

    600 HST's would not be a call to action for me! I'd be running the other direction! I'm loving the way your string blocks are coming together.
