Rainbow Scrap Challenge: Yellow Edition

One lonesome triangle nine patch.  Poor thing, there were no more triangles to make another!  I have oodles and oodles of green triangles, however, so I will make up for the lonely block another month.

I had great plans for a fabric finish to help my stash report and my UFO list, but, alas, we had a number of "on the road" days, yielding only hand quilting for most of the week.


I did finish 72 Carrie Nation blocks!  I decided, in fits and starts, to finish all the four patches in all colors before assembling the blocks.  It sure made this week feel productive after a month of no new Carrie Nation blocks!  All the quarters were ready, so an hour or two of pinning and sewing whipped out the last blocks.  Now we have to plan the layout, and on to the rows we go.

Finally, I finished all the yellow four patches for the new quilt.  I've begun the blues, but with no four patches complete, it would be a dull photo of blue squares and green squares.  Maybe (maybe, as it is spring break), I'll have a finished block or two next Saturday!

Be sure to check out all the other sunshine-y projects this Saturday!

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
