Stitching Up Some Sunny Yellow

Between work and getting all of our tax info organized, there hasn't been much time for quilting this week. Thank goodness for MARTA, the Atlanta area transit system. That 20-minute ride to work in the morning is almost exactly enough time to stitch one of my applique circles (if I have it all prepped before I get on the train.) It's a much more relaxing way to start the day than fighting Atlanta traffic.

Here are the yellow blocks I have made so far this month as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I will definitely be cutting away the background behind the circles, and the blocks also need to be trimmed/squared up to the right size, but all of that will wait until I am ready to join them together.

Kathy is another participant in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, and she had been seeing my blocks over the past couple of months. Check out her blog to see the incredible challenge quilt she made using this pattern. I am so honored to have provided some inspiration. You can see her quilt in process here and here or view the finished quilt here.  Go over and take a look--it's fabulous!

Check out all of the terrific scrappy projects at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. On Sunday I will also link up with Oh Scrap! at Quilting is more fun than housework.
