Yellow is the Colour

     When I typed the title of todays post an old Donovan (I think it's Donovan) song turned up in my head which I suppose really dates me , but it's such a pretty song.  "Yellow is the colour of my true loves hair, in the morning......etc.  Yellow is such a pretty colour.  
    
      I have not had a lot of time for sewing yellow scrappy blocks because my Guild challenge is due on Tuesday and I have been spending my time sewing it ,  figuring out how to quilt it and  practicing ,practicing,practicing. First on paper and then on a quilt sandwich as I am a fairly novice free motion quilter.  Here's a picture of a practice quilt motif for part of the quilt.  I should have practiced on yellow.

    

      Getting back to yellow.  Yellow is one of the colours of the challenge fabric and as my challenge piece is pretty small I will have lot's of leftovers to use in scraps later in the month. Yay!

     I do have one yellow block to share with you.  Last night when my brain was tired of all the fmq drawing and practice I decided to make a medallion block using Tanya's excellent tutorial.  Many of you have probably seen this already. I was pretty tired but I managed to  cut out all the fabric  for each of the 4 sub blocks that make up the big block, and to sew one sub block.  This morning I decided to quickly chain piece the other three.  Whoops!

     The block on the top left is pieced correctly and the other two are not. I can hear my mother whispering in my ear "haste makes waste"   The mistake happened back on log two.  So after some unsewing and resewing I finished the medallion block.

     I'm linking up to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge at So Scrappy, then I'm back to the Challenge.
