Duration: as long as it takes

As you see I am well into a new scrap project. This will be the first block of 12. I have done all the yellow units and have 4 orange / pink units. I am lacking 20 and that is my goal for today.
I will sash these blocks with black and use pink as corner stones.
As you might have sensed I have scraps on many levels right now, and I am self medication on sewing.
I need to do something fast, furious and simple and this project is good for scrap reducing too.
I used to love yellow and I have to much of it - to much.
The only way to organize an abundant stash is to use it !!
More later :-)
I think you are addicted!!! What a cheery block. Yellow is the one color I literally have zero of. I want to fill in the gaps and make a yellow quilt....

P.S> what is the weather like your way?
Wow, that's going to be one colorful (and quite wonderful) quilt, show us more!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a prescription I could easily take. What a lovely quilt this is going to be. You have me wanting to ditch work and go play with my strips!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! That block is so happy looking! I love your colors.
ReplyDeleteKinda like Bento Boxes with a twist--looks cheerful with that yellow.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful prescription! I love your block!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, organize your stash by reducing it!
I love this! Would be a great way to use some of my stuff..oops stash too. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome Hanne:)
ReplyDeleteYour prescription is "just what the doctor ordered Hanne. - at least I wish it was! Do you supposed I could convince my boss that I needed to take a few sick days so I could medicate myself your way? I only wish!
ReplyDeleteWhat you are doing with your scraps is so wonderful. I love the yellow and orange combination - perfect for a summer project in hot weather. The finished quilt will bring sunshine and warmth later on during cold winter days.
You are having as much fun with your scraps as I am!
This is wonderful. Bright, eye catching, and scrappy. I look forward to seeing the competed quilt. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteYou are being so good. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteWell, not really my idea of a fast project - those are some tiny scraps you are working with - LOL! It is lovely though and it sounds like you are feeling good about working on it!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Evelyn
love your prescription... should use up any size scrap bin eventually :-)
ReplyDeleteThose are great quilt blocks. They remind me of Mumbo Gumbo by Pie in the Sky quilts. It is one of my favorite patterns ever.
ReplyDeleteFantastic!! I love them!
ReplyDeleteThey look good! Scrap quilts are the best aren't they?
ReplyDeleteThat is a great block. Fabulous colors. I like the use of black to highlight the other colors.
ReplyDeleteI hope your therapy works and cures whatever ails you.
The best thing with your prescription is no dangerous side-effects!?!?!
ReplyDeleteNice blocks
Inga
I like your block. I really studied it to see how you made it. ( saved the pic too ) What a great sunny scrap buster.
ReplyDeletelove this! hurray for fast and furious and fun!
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to go quilt too!
ReplyDeleteI'm also short on yellows in my stash, but I have lots of blues and greens!
Now, that is a good prescription! Both for me and my stash, that is. I looked through my orphane blocks yesterday and found a few that can do with some therapy.
ReplyDeleteLove this block...very fun and very "liberated!"
ReplyDeleteSer kjempebra ut Hanne - gledere meg til å se fortsettelsen.
ReplyDeleteKlem fra Sølvi
Lokks really good Hanne, looking forward to se the rest of this quilt.
