It's yellow month for the Rainbow Scrappers, and I have started digging through the 1.5" scrap box for yellow squares to make into 25 patch blocks. It's an interesting task to decide what is actually yellow, and what reads more as gold or orange.
Sewcialites 2 is also getting some attention this weekend. This is block #17 called Simplicity pattern by Vanessa Goertzen.
And here are all the Sewcialtes 2 blocks on the design wall. There are 24 blocks in this collection, so I have 6 more to sew. I think this will definitely need some sashing to be a less busy sampler!I am motivated to get these blocks sewn because rumour has it that Moda Blockheads #5 is coming this September, and I only like to have one sampler project on the go at a time!

That’s a very colourful sampler. Great blocks! I had the same issue with my yellows. The gold coloured ones are in a separate bin now.
ReplyDeleteYou've had a great start with yellow! I have yet to pull my box out and see what I have to work with.
ReplyDeleteThe Simplicity block is really cute. That was one I had choosing fabrics for. I too have a lot more gold and orange shades of yellow for sure.
ReplyDeleteYou're right about the gold, orange, yellow debate. It is often hard to make a decision when you want something to be specifically yellow.
ReplyDeleteYour Sewcialites 2 blocks look great. I just finished mine and now have to decide on a border fabric.
ReplyDeleteYour design wall looks great!! And what fun to have another stitch along to look forward too
ReplyDeleteSampler blocks are sew much fun. I, too, like them with sashings! Let’s each one shine!
