More Yellow 4-Patch Blocks

The original plan for this week had been to spend it making hay. However, the weather has not cooperated, so I've been stitching as fast as I can before I need to head out to the hayfield.

After I finished the last row of Nearly Insane, I prepped the pieces for the additional 13 yellow blocks I need for my RSC blocks. I added other yellows than the original 15 blocks so they would look somewhat different. Sorry the picture is dark.

I laid part of the blocks out on the display floor to give you an idea of the tentative plan for the quilt. This is a small version of what will eventually be a king sized quilt.

Obviously it will look nicer when all the colors are in the quilt.

I know several that help get the hay in and it seems it is a chore they dread but know it needs to be done. Love your quilt blocks

This quilt is going to be wonderful! I haven't played long with RSC yet but I like your idea of these blocks for it. It seems doable to be if you know what I mean?! Many thanks for linking up to TGIFF :)

Your blue and white Nearly Insane quit is gorgeous. And your hand quilting too. Happy Stitching.

Very impressive. You are proving that we can make fabulous quilts even with tiny pieces if we take it slow, one month at a time! Good job.

These blocks are wonderful! They will make a terrific quilt. Good luck with the hay.
Cheers,

It is already looking very rainbow-y! :) Hope that the weather cooperates soon for your haying.

Libby in TN said...

Oh, you truly meant "making hay"! Your rainbow 4P is going to be spectacular.

Your quilt plan is really coming together! I love the streams of color running through the white.

You will have such a happy quilt when all the colours join in. Make hay when the sun shines; quilt when it doesn't. Good thinking.

Cathy said...

Wow, your blocks are great and this is going to be a lovely quilt!

Love your four patches! I've been making them as leader/enders for a long time, with no plan for what to do with them. Thanks for a gorgeous idea!

So simple, yet so fun.

Your quilt is going to be so pretty.

I like almost everything I have seen from these rainbow block sew-alongs.

My heavens! It's my first visit but I am stunned by the beauty of your quilts and your farm. I live in a rural area of Louisiana, so I had to check out the farm photos. The ones with snow are just gorgeous. Of course, because I've never lived outside of Louisiana, I can't imagine the cold and (to me) the misery of so much ice and snow. I've thoroughly enjoyed your blog and promise I'll be back for more visits. (I haven't looked at the finished quilts.)

Wishing some non humid sunny weather your way so the haying can begin. That is going to be a beautiful quilt.

Angie said...

I love quilts that use traditional blocks - this one is going to be wonderful!

Sheila said...

This quilt is going to be wonderful!

Cynthia Brunz Designs said...

Your blocks look great all together! It is going to look wonderful in a bed. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!

Cathy said...

You may not be able to make hay but you sure are making some wonderful looking quilts!

Gretchen Weaver said...

Glad I gave you an idea for your 4-patches. These are easy to make and a very simple pattern. They can be arranged several different ways but I think this is the way they will be laid.

Katie Z. said...

Your blocks look fabulous!

Britt said...

This is going to be a terrific quilt! I love the layout and the way the colors change in the rows of chains. You have one turquoise four patch turned the wrong way (upper right corner of the photo).

Gretchen Weaver said...

I just hurriedly laid the blocks out to show what the design would be like. They aren't sewn together yet. But thanks for letting me know.
