2015 RSC March Yellow Week 2, Sweet 16 Progress, and Pineapple Blossom Quilt Progress


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

    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.

    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!

    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?

    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!
