You are my Sunshine

Woohoo!  We are accident free for a week.  JoJo's insomnia has returned, however, but I prefer that to the eye injuries.  In an attempt to keep things mellow for JoJo this week, we spent a lot of time in the basement playing and sewing.

I was able to finish 8 cushions for a customer, except for the buttons.  Those are on order.  I'll be glad to have the pile of cushions out of the play room, but I definitely have learned and enjoyed them once I had the process down.

The Rainbow Star is now 3/4 assembled.  I am doing better at organizing my triangles for sewing, and I definitely see the improvement over the original, several years ago.

I also started some four patches of luscious hand-dyed fabric from Vicki Welsh.  We'll see if my sister Alzbe recognizes what this is for as I proceed.  I have three more shades of yellow to sew up, and then comes the blues!  I suppose these aren't precisely scraps, but I don't have many yellow scraps, and this is a good time to make progress on this quilt.

Be sure to check out all the other yellow projects (there's always so many inspiring posts... I will not start a new project...)!

Are the four-patches for Anni's quilt? Or were those Carrie-Nation blocks?

Such pretty yellows. I took a peek and looked around at your sisters blogs =) Thanks for sharing. Glad JoJo gave you a break on the injury front this week. Lets hope it extends to this week as well.

Sounds like a relatively calm week for a change. Yeah!

The Rainbow star looks great!. Looking forward to seeing that one all finished.

Your yellow stash seems to be working well for all of the projects. The star is going to be very impressive!

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...
