Patchwork Squares With Yellow

Earlier this fall I pieced several more rows for patchwork squares with yellow. They have been sewn to the small body. The width of the top measures approximately 36" - 37". There is a long way to go yet before this flimsy is ready to be quilted.

I have decided to quit using the light fabrics, they just don't show against the soft yellow. I think it looks like a hole in the quilt!

Ignore those two blocks on the right side, those are squirrels that are running around in my sewing room.

When I cut the background squares for my Hearts & Wreaths applique blocks, I had a section of soft yellow that wasn't large enough for an applique block. That fabric has been cut into squares and added to this quilt.

Here is a former post about patchwork squares.

  3. You are encouraging me to make one. I looked at your previous post about the triangles on the end but I didn't see the size of your squares. I really like the yellow.

    1. My squares are cut at 2.5", finish at 2". The colored blocks are mostly already cut squares from the 2.5" box.

  4. I must admit the blue blocks are really standing out against that lovely yellow. I am auditioning a yellow for my next major project...not that easy to do as the yellows cover a wide field of shades.
    Meanwhile, I am thankful for your blog and the inspiration it never fails to give me, Gretchen. A wonderful Christmas to You!
