It's the last yellow Saturday for the Rainbow Scrappers.
It has been a very busy month for me, but I've managed to use up a lot of yellow scraps. I finished my Carrie Nation blocks and a bunch of spools. I also finished these 12 pretty Alamo stars.
Today I hope to do some yellow cutting - not scraps exactly, but am turning fat quarters into parts for Swoon blocks. The colours I picked for my blocks are yellow or gold, gray, black and white. I made my first block last year, and you can see how large these blocks are compared to my Alamo star blocks :) I hadn't made any progress on my Swoon blocks since last year, except in terms of fabric collecting. But I recently found a Swoonalong to help motivate me to get these blocks underway (thanks to Andee for the info!)
These are the star burst combinations I am going to make. The backgrounds for each block will be a different black on white print.To see what other yellow projects are being sewn today, hop over to SoScrappy.

Have fun swooning! ,y swoon is finally at the long armer's and should be done soon. I like the colours you are using.
I love the colors you chose for your Alamo stars!
Before reading your post I looked at the photos and thought you were incorporating a tiny Alamo Star into the center of your swoon blocks. : ) Looked good to me!
The Alamo stars are very nice with the greens and blues and I love the yellow with black, grey and white.
More lovely Alamo Stars - they're going to make a terrific quilt! And I really like the color choices for your Swoon block - can't wait to see more!
What a fun new pattern! I have seen the Swoon blocks, and knew they were huge, but didn't really understand the scale until I saw it with the Alamo Star. What a difference!
Great Alamo stars. You are going to have a great quilt with that those blocks.
Love your color choice for the Swoon blocks!
Nice swoon block. It will be great when done.
I love all the Swoon blocks I've been seeing in blog land lately. Love your colors.
I love your sweet Alamo Stars. Swoons, too. Sounds like your are ready for a new month and a new color.
