I made a few more spools for my block collection, even though I said I wasn't going to make any more of these blocks this month. I just couldn't resist cutting up the scraps and sewing a few! There is such a pretty variety from bright sunshine yellows, to orangey yellows, to brownish yellows. I love these scrappy blocks and the range of light background scraps I have found to use up.
I also finished up a few more pumpkin seed blocks. I hand appliqued the seeds and sewed together 5 green blocks from last month, and 2 yellow blocks from this month.
I also sewed up a 6" green scrappy wonky star block that I had cut last month. To see what other scrap quilters are sewing with yellow, hop over to SoScrappy and visit the links posted.
Lovely collection of spools you have there Kathy. I have found that I don't really have a large range of shades in yellow - mostly fairly pale one or florals. Nice colour to work with though. Must start collecting a few more.
What a great collection of yellow scraps you have! Nice shade can be hard to find. Great progress on using some of them up though. Such a tough balancing act.
