Slivers of Yellow

We were lucky - strong winds, torrential downpours but no tornado.  After that was all over we've had two days of sunshine with temperatures cool enough that the air didn't have to kick in if we bumped the setting up to 75F.  I did a bit of sewing every day this week and managed to complete my Mock Mola Ananas.

The colour's off.  The background is quite black and the colours are a bit more vibrant.  That's what happens when you take the pictures indoors after sundown.

I also made the two missing RSC yellow blocks - boxed kite in green and yellow and mock Lemoyne star in orange and yellow.

I didn't have enough of the yellow with black spots so my focus fabric had to do double duty.  I think it works.

The yellow background I chose for this block almost has a peachy tone to it and I think it really compliments the orange fabrics.

And here are the yellow spools.  Perhaps I shouldn't have used that batik.  It is too green I think.

 

My last little project was a yellow mini.  I was part of a charm square exchange and wondered what to do with 40 charms in every colour imaginable.  On a shopping expedition I found a book that featured some sliver quilts.  It was a technique I wanted to try but not for an entire quilt.  Using the charm squares was a perfect solution.  Some fancy stitching and a little bit of embellishment and my Slivers of Sunshine mini was complete.

That's all for me and yellow this week.  Checking in with RSC to see what others have been up to.
