The colour for October is yellow so I pulled out my yellow and gold scraps and made two blocks for my RSC quilt. I had lots of fun yellow scraps for my block.
As I dig through the scraps, I remember the projects I have made with these fabrics. The daisy fabric was a border on a baby quilt that I made several years ago--the baby is in school now. The yellow Kaffe fabric is being used on a current project that has not been shown on my blog yet. Soon, it will be revealed.
This block was made with my gold scraps..The block looks more gold in real life! The cat fabric, lower right corner, was used to make a maternity dress for my SIL. My twin nieces are now in their 4th year of university! The fabric above the cats was used in a dress for my daughter when she was in grade 1--she wore it at her holiday concert at school. She is 8 years older than her cousins.
I also made a brown block. The coffee bean fabric was used recently to make a face covering for my husband. The baseball glove fabric was leftover from a quilt made for my brother in law. There are a few quilt backings in this block as well as a fall table runner made for my MIL.
I hope to make 16 blocks for this quilt and have 13 made so far. Here are all the blocks on my design wall. I am still pondering layouts for these blocks.
That gold block looks much better in this picture of all the blocks! I have used 325 different fabrics in these blocks so far.
I will link up with the scrappy quilters at So Scrappy later today.
Those are such fun blocks! And that is my favorite part of scrap quilting - remembering where that little bit of fabric came from!
