After a very prolific Last week I am back to my more usual production level of three blocks this week.

#60 Noon and Light

Kona solids used are Lemon, Mac and Cheese along with Duckling.

I’m hoping that the Duckling will pop in the final quilt layout. Duckling is the color that is being used as an accent sashing color in the upper right corner of the quilt in a similar way that Rich Red was used in the upper left corner.

#49 Honeycomb

Kona solids used are Mac and Cheese along with School Bus, which is one of my favorite colors for this quilt.

I was not sure I wanted to do this block. There were so many tiny triangles. I found this block challenging because it was very difficult to get the tails working together.

The first quarter was hit or miss as I ended up redoing the gluing to get things to work properly. I finally realized that it mattered which side I started gluing from depending on which way the triangle was facing.

I came to the conclusion that edges needed to be glued in the following order. I had to glue the edges in a counterclockwise direction with the hypotenuse being the second side glued.

If I did them in this order the tails would nest properly.

It was a great deal of work, but I learned a valuable lesson, and I think the block turned out well.

#75 Rosebud

Kona solids used are Bright Idea and Duckling.

This block uses the two brightest yellows that I have in my Yellow pallet. I have ordered a few more yellows, and, even though I am nearly done with my Yellow blocks, those fabrics might prove useful in providing variety for sashing.

It is my goal to have all Yellow section blocks completed by next Friday. The last two blocks will involve some yellow/green colors.
