February is Yellow!!!!

 The color of the Month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge / Placemat Project is Yellow... so I dug thru the trusty ol' bin.... and took the top blocks that were on the yellow pile....

If you don't know - the boys pulled the bin of Block down for me in January - and it can not go back up... until it is lighter, or!!  They grace my sewing area again.... I have a feeling it will just have to get lighter, I think I scared them away from the sewing room.

Now - another thing-- I will have to remember to say this again in my final recap... I did not make these blocks.  I awarded a Quilt of Valor to a WWII Veteran and his wife said - I have made all these blocks... let me give them to you... and give she did... and they are all different sizes, and all different fabrics, ( sometimes not even cotton) and they just needed a project to be a part of..... so! Here they are!

All laid out... on my floor

My design wall is otherwise occupied 

(You'll have to come back monday to see why)

So I grouped them in similar colors in groups of 6

and I ironed them all up and clipped them together

And then I trimmed each group of 6 to the size of the smallest block in the pile

We are averaging 7 inches per block... ( ish)

and I stitched them together...

and when I quilted my Suitable for Framing top

( see Fridays post)

I quilted these up!!

and yes the two on the bottom aren't as Yellow as I had thought they were

so we are calling them

Butterscotch!!! Yep! That is Sorta Yellow... kinda....

A couple of you asked what I was going to do with all these placemats

its in here ;-)
