Yellow is a good color for June. It's been a cool spring, but today is hot. Good garden growing weather.
Pictured are some scrappy yellow 36-patch blocks, some 16-patch blocks, some string blocks and a yellow crayon block. Last week I started making some Bonnie Hunter Crayon Quilt Blocks. Pictured is a small stack of 10. A good start. The free pattern is on her Quiltville website under the free patterns tab. Some colorful pot holders made it into the picture. Potholders on the left will be donated. I may keep the colorful supper scrappy hot holder.
To see what other made this week go here.
I finished my string blocks quilt. The centers are 2" blue strings. 1.5" strings are sewed on either side. The foundation for all the blocks are 7.25" pages torn from a phonebook. I didn't sew a border on it and I'm pleased with how it turned out. It's quilted with a free motion meander. After a go in the washer and dryer, it finished at 55" x 75". I love string block quilts and I look forward to making more this year.

I just love your string quilt Sheila!
Bonnie Hunter's next book will be all string quilts!
Your block production and newly completed quilt both incorporate the RSC Color of the Month. It looks like it was a wonderful week of YELLOW in your sewing room!!
A lot of yummy yellow goodness right there! Your newest finish is just super - not all quilts need borders, especially of this variety. Well done!
I spy minions, snoopy, lady bugs, spools of thread, a fire hydrant, and so much more! love all your scrappiness! So much fun! You finished your string block quilt fast! It is beautiful! Missed you at guild picnic today.
Lovely blocks, I like those fussy cut blocks, too hugs, Julierose
It's great to use up any size scraps but to get something out of them we can use is even better. It looks great.. good size too.
You've been busy, girl. Love your blocks. Yellow is such a cheery color. Your quilt is absolutely inspiring. Love it!
Hugs
Love your string block finish! I love string quilts, too, so I'm always happy to see new ones!
You were really inspired when you chose the blue strips for the centers. It is reallly vibrant. Congrats on a fine finish!
Ooooh, lots of happy yellow and the string quilt is gorgeous! You do such pretty things with your bits and pieces!
