I was given these wonderful batik scraps which are perfect for my Alamo Star blocks. I laid out all the scraps and started cutting pieces using my Tri-Recs rulers.
I have 8 Alamo Star blocks ready to sew as leader/enders this month.
I was able to sew 4 little stars with some yellow in them, but look forward to getting the rest of these blocks sewn up this month.
I have been surrounded by yellow (and blue) quilts this week. It's odd how that happens.
First - I have been working on my log cabin blocks and have a big hunk of the corner sewn together now.
Second - I adopted this yellow and blue quilt when I was at guild meeting (it was random, I have no idea why I did that!) I started machine quilting it yesterday.
Third - I sewed a label on a donation quilt made by my little sewing group. The fabric was all from our stashes, and we were amazed at how big it became - 80" x 109". One of the group members thought it should be long enough to have a pillow tuck at the top.
It's long enough for a pillow tuck, and then some! It needs to go to a home with tall people ;)
Anyway, the quilt is hand quilted and will be auctioned at the Mennonite Relief Sale on the last Saturday in May.

So much yellow this month. You've gotten a lot done so far. Congratulations! Those Alamo stars get cuter each time I see them.
I don't know how the weather is where you are but around here, we could use a little yellow and bright sunshine! Lovely quilts.
Just look at how busy you' ve been! Lately I seem to only be able to focus on one project at a time.
very nice work on all your quilts - I like you tend to work on more than one thing at a time
Lots of fun yellow scraps in all those projects. Enjoy your scrappy play this weekend.
I love your new header photo. I'm so ready for all the soft colors of spring to show up here.

So many great blocks and quilts, great organization as well.

You've been busy this week! I love the batiks - such vibrant colours and yellow is a great colour to be working with at this time of year, isn't it? A taste of spring to come. On that note, tulips are my favourite cut flowers and your pink ones are beautiful.
Always love to see blue and yellow together and what a lovely quilt. Your collection of yellow batiks, I shall watch out for the Alamo Stars using these.
Beautiful prints! Love your blue and yellow quilt, too.
