Wild Ladies of the Lake
10 inch blocks
This week I pulled out the yellow 2.5 inch scraps. There wasn't much to work with but I did manage to make a few blocks.
Eight inch Depression Block and 12 inch Ship Block
I found my pile of eight inch Depression Blocks I have made over the years with my 2.5 inch scraps. I forgot about them because I didn't put them in the box with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects. It looks like I have about 58 (now 59) of them. I want a big quilt out of them so need about double that amount.
Garden patchwork of yellow flowers.
Snapdragons, pansies, tomato blossoms, roses, day lilies, oriental lilies, roses, dutchman's pipe.
WARNING: Dutchman's pipe is invasive around here. Gosh...I spend a lot of time pulling this vine out of my flower gardens.
When it's not too hot or too rainy but when it's just right I work out in the gardens.
like your blocks have been thinking of this block for some time
ReplyDeleteThat Lady of the Lake is one wild woman. Hot, hot, hot! Hope the whales don't tip over the sail boat. ; )
ReplyDeleteThe Depression blocks have always been a favorite of mine, and that one is pretty in your yellow scraps! Love the shots of your yellow flowers, too! I wouldn't have known that the last one was something to pull out!
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks--esp'ly like that sailboat hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteI love love love those Wild Ladies!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm really enjoying (and envying) all those flowers!
I just love those Ladies of the Lake blocks. I think you must have quite a few by now. It's going to be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo good to see those depression blocks again - I thought I had missed a finish or something. I almost copied those this year but decided I had enough blocks with HSTs to trim.... your Ladies of the Lake are awesome (and always remind me of the Crosby, Stills & Nash song, "Lady of the Island")
ReplyDeleteI really don't understand how you make such pretty blocks out of such a varied bunch of scraps! It seems to me that you just use whatever you pick up, and it always turns out beautiful! You have that magic touch for sure! Same thing applies to your flowers too! I love them. ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteAnother bunch of great RSC blocks. Love the sailing boat one and it's excellent sea fabric!
ReplyDeleteEverything is beautiful yellow!
ReplyDeleteThose really are wild and wonderful Ladies. You could not get them any more colorful. The flower pics are much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteLots of wonderful YELLOW scraps, but I really enjoyed all the YELLOW in your garden!! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletegood blocks you have done here no heard of a depression block before but looking see it is HSTs
ReplyDeleteGarden looking good too yellow is such a pretty happy colour
Beautiful yellow flowers! What a great collection of blocks you have for the RSC.
ReplyDeleteYour yellow depression block is anything but depressing -- SO pretty! And I like the 12" ship block (pattern source?). Your yellow flowers are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteLove the new Ladies blocks - the color combos are terrific!
ReplyDeleteI love these ladies blocks. LOVED the purple ones in a previous post! Looking forward to seeing this quilt come together : )
