This week I have an unprecedented seven blocks to share. Yes! Seven blocks!

#46 Hill and Valley

Kona solids used are Mac and Cheese along with School Bus.

This block is destined for a place in one of the first two rows of the Yellow section.

#37 Flower Pot (revisited)

Kona solids used are Mac and Cheese, Orange, Nectarine, and Tangerine.

This block is making a second appearance in this quilt top. It originally was used in its rightful position in the Violet section. I’m going to be using it to replace #35, which is a basket block. I don’t do Basket blocks. I’m fine with flower pot blocks, but not Basket blocks. No rounded handles for me, thank you very much.

This block was much easier to make the second time around. I really learned a lot about the need to pay attention to the direction of tails the first time I made this block. It is important to pull back the first end of the first edge to tuck under the last end of the last edge to keep tails properly oriented on those odd shapes pieces.

The Tangerine is dark for this section, but it will be facing the Orange area, so it will be fine.

#74 Ribbons

Kona solids used are Bright Idea, Daffodil, and Mustard.

I was not sure about this block until it finally came together. I did not think the ribbon colors were going to contrast enough, but they contrast just enough. I also was afraid that the background would be too bright, but I love it.

#73 Rainbow Flowers

Kona solids used are Lemon, Daffodil, Bright Idea, and Duckling.

This is a very easy block, and it was a pleasure to make.

#47 Homemaker

Kona solids used are Bright Idea, Duckling, and Papaya.

I was not sure I wanted to make this one given the Y seams involved and the unusual shapes. I used what I learned from the Flower Pot blocks and paid close attention to my tails.

Look at those points and corners, will ya?

#108 Windmill

Kona solids used are Papaya, School Bus, and Orange.

This block was plucked from the ninth set of blocks. I was looking for an easy block to replace the Flock block, which I had already decided to reject. I love this block.

#45 Grape Basket

Kona solids used are Mac and Cheese, Nectarine, and Orange.

That’s it for this week. I am well on my way with the Yellow section.

Earlier today I ordered 24 half yards from the Fat Quarter Shop, mostly blues and greens. They should be here in six days. I will show them off soon.
