Today the local forecast is for lots of freezing rain, and we haven't seen much of the sun lately. But it's all sunshine and yellow over at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.We are being encouraged to use up some yellow and gold scraps this month. I had fun digging in the scrap bins to find small pieces to use up in my April Squared Away sampler blocks. This is the 4th block for the sampler and is appropriately called 4X Star.

I am making 4 blocks each month for my sampler and these use some of my favourite scraps.The yellow with circles in the bottom left block is one of my favourite Kaffe Paperweight fabrics. I don't know what happened with the top left block... I got really carried away with fussy cutting those flowers which are on a gold background, but I had to cut them so small, they only look pink. Oh well... they will fit into the sampler quilt somehow.
To see what other quilters are making with their sunshiny fabric scraps, hop over to the weekly RSC link up.
They are pretty, all four blocks and each one with itself appearance
ReplyDeleteI like the pink mixed in that first block! And for a scrappy sampler, I'm sure it will turn out just fine. My favorite though? The yellow lemon slice fabric - what fun
ReplyDeleteYour Sampler blocks are amazing. I love how adventurous you are with the fabrics and color placement. Inspiring!!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and cheerful! I think the pink flowers add a nice pop to that one block :)
ReplyDeleteI like the block on the right top the best!
ReplyDeleteSometimes the fabric holds unexpected surprises. I think your blocks look lovely.
ReplyDeleteThose are all so pretty, Kathy! The pink is a fun addition in the one block!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to use some fabrics with "interest" in my Squared Away blocks, but my yellows seem be be pretty tame and boring. Guess I need to dig deeper into the stash.

About the only sunshine here is in the form of quilt blocks too! Love the blocks. The pink adds character.
ReplyDeleteGreat sister choice blocks. Oh how I love the added bit of pink.
ReplyDeleteI love your blocks! The pink is perfect, like spring flowers. Are these 10 inches, or smaller?
ReplyDeleteLots of fun sunshiny blocks to play with on a not so sunny day. Hopefully the freezing rain didn't cause you any power outages or other problems.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are lovely! Especially that one with the orange sun bursts.
ReplyDeleteSo many fun fabrics in your blocks. Love how they all came together.
