Worldwide Quilting Day and Yellow Scrappiness

Happy Worldwide Quilting Day to all my blog-reading quilting friends! I hope you get lots of time to spend for quilting today. Unfortunately, I have to work during the day, but I will definitely be quilting this evening!

I made a slow start on my yellow bowtie blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, but this week I finished 29 blocks. I have plenty of pieces cut to make another batch of bowties before the end of the month. I have to  be careful not to use really pale yellows in these blocks because they blend in with the beige/cream background fabrics too much.




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
