This week I made a second yellow 8.5" crumb block to go with the one I made last week to make a pot holder. Four 4.5" yellow crumb blocks will be added to my RSC collection. A knitted yellow cotton dishcloth made it into the picture. To see what others made with yellow scraps, go here Saturday morning.
I made eight more Sweet 16 blocks that I plan to sew into the back of my Hands 2 Help quilt.
Last fall I attended a Bonnie Hunter workshop. We made Pineapple Blossom blocks. It became a UFO for awhile. This week I pulled the blocks and made more. I'll start sashing the blocks this week.
A cold is slowing me down

Great yellow projects and blocks. Funny, I was just looking at Bonnie's Pineapple to use up the many 2" strips that are accumming - think you have me sold on that project.
Hi, Sheila, love these higgledy-piggledy (what a great word!!! 8D ) bright colors of the up growing pineapple quilt top ... I discovered many goose flying through the sky immediately ... well, these are a really very interesting variation of a "Wild Goose Chase" ... but I just ask me, why you will break them with a sashing? With lovely regards! Kirsten
Your slow is about the same as most people's fast when it comes to quilting. Love the Pineapple Blossom quilt. Always a great pattern for scraps.
The pineapple blossoms are wonderful....I love this pattern. take care of the cold and feel better soon.
Love your sunshiny pieces. You've got some very happy yellows. The Sweet 16s have a fun variety of colors and I love the Pineapple Blossom. It's going to be a gorgeous quilt.
Hugs
I am so sad you have a cold! Hope you are feeling better soon. I've been thinking about getting my pineapple blossom back out too. I don't even remember how many blocks I've made. Feel better soon my friend!
Lots of lightness here! Nice to pull out those UFO's, they are often so close to being finished. Hope you are feeling better soon.
What great projects. I really like your pineapple blocks. So pretty.
Feel better soon -- your pineapples are wonderful.
I had the cold thing last week, hope you feel better soon.
Lots of pretty yellows in your blocks. The Pineapple Blossom blocks are gorgeous!
Great yellow projects. What a great quilt in the making. Love the pineapple blossom block.
I love the colors in your Pineapple Blossoms. Hope your cold goes away soon!
Glad to see the Pineapple Blossom blocks will be turned into a quilt. They're so cheerful! So is the yellow potholder; I especially like that one.
Are the Bonnie Hunter blocks paper pieced?
Oh, Sheila, I am so sorry. Colds are just miserable. :( I like your yellows and that pineapple blocks are so pretty! Can't wait to see how you finish it. Hope you feel lots better really soon.
XOXO
I agree with Angela - your slow is most people's fast =). Hope you are feeling better with all those pretty bright projects to work on and look at. I think the pineapples would look great without a sashing.... I found a ball of yellow yarn when moving my sewing room. Maybe I need to make another dish cloth!
The pineapple blocks are bright and cheery. Very nice yellow blocks.
