It has been a challenge to find scraps that are yellow and not gold but I did find a few, and sewed up four 6" blocks for my scrappy blocks collection.
The gorgeous gerberas were a gift I received yesterday for teaching a class on block construction for my guild.
We had a great day sewing blocks and slicing them up and making them into something different. Here are the sewers holding some of the blocks that were worked on at the workshop. I also made up a bunch of kits from donated fabrics so that they could learn some new blocks, and help to make charity quilts at the same time...a win-win situation for everyone!
Lots of ideas were stimulated and I hope many new projects will be started over the summer from the creative ideas these quilters were dreaming up (I am definitely a bad influence!)
We also enjoyed great conversation and of course some tasty treats. I didn't spot any cocktail consumption at the workshop, but then I was working them pretty hard. My thanks to each one for all the enthusiasm and willingness to try some new things!

Your yellow blocks look like sunshine and happiness. It looks like you had a great turnout for your lesson.
What happy yellow blocks. The frogs really make it "hoppy".
Precioso tu blog en amarillo,
Felicitaciones!!! a las personas que realizan tan bellos bloques.
Abrazos
how fun! Your yellow blocks look neat!
How great that they'll get some practice and make donation tops at the same time. The yellow blocks are very cheery!
Your scrappy yellow blocks are so bright and cheerful. It is nice to spend a day with quilt friends, look like everyone had a good time.
yellow is my favorite color and the hardest to find in a quilt store...nice blocks!!
Looks like a fun day! You are definitely an influence! lol
What a fab day Kathy! Your classes are always inspiring and this was no exception - I have already cut squares to make a disappearing 9 patch quilt. And I plan to make disappearing 4 patch and 16 patch quilts as well - I just love the fact that the design doesn't reveal itself until it's on the design wall.
Yellow is such a happy colour and the blocks are great!!
