Glorious Yellow! I LOVE yellow! I'll be showing you some of my yellow quilts this month.
I didn't find out til we got home yesterday, so I quick grabbed a chance to sew while baby Milo was napping
got out the yellow scrap bin. Why am I so choosy with scraps!?? I'll pass one by because it's too large to "waste" on this, or too cute. I mean why not use the cute ones?
I am planning to play again with drunkard's paths this time mixed with pieced squares, and possibly 9 patches. All with shades of yellow, from dark to light, from bright to dull, from greenish to reddish, with other colors printed in. All of them together make a quilt sparkle.
This is how it starts... components... and lots of them. What fun sewing is!

Love how cute your drunkard's paths are!! those little bumbles and lady bugs and sheep cavorting around...this will be so adorable hugs, Julierose
Very cute! Yellow is one of those colors that I don't use very often. So it's usually pretty sparse in my stash. But you have some really fun choices here.
You have such fun yellows, LeeAnna! They are going to be fun to play with this month!
Girl, you are having too much fun playing with those yellow scraps. I like the quarter circles against the scrappy pieced backgrounds.
I love using sewing crumbs to make parts of a block. And yes, yes, do use the cute ones. They add smiles to faces when we look at the quilt afterwards. Enjoy the yellow fun! ;^)
Since the title of your blog is "Not Afraid of Color", I knew that you would have to have a lot of yellows! They all look so bright and cheery. Love them all.
Happy yellows! A good way to spend some of the day!
Yellow is so cheery. I love the scrappy curves.
You really have a good start on some fascinating yellows.
Love your yellow DP blocks! especially the pieced ones. You are brave (or crazy)!
Hugs
Very pretty. Great selections of yellow.
Your blocks look like happy sunshine.
Yellow! So perfect for Summer fun and June!
Big yellow taxi! Bees, banana's, lady bugs and happy waving hands!
Lovely collection of yellows - obviously not my favourite colour though as I struggled to find any to work with!! xx
Now THIS is the way to sew!
Such a fun collection of yellows and the perfect color for summer. I'm not sure if this is the month we receive the most sun during the summer - maybe July? - but yellow makes me think summer and it starts in June. ~smile~ Roseanne
Mellow yellow weekend ahead in the sunny studio.
Yellow is such a happy color! I can't wait to see what you create with this.
Ooh, I have some of that yellow taxi fabric. I sent some string blocks to Cynthia Brunz ehich included yellows and I was thinking they looked too mellow. I forgot I had the taxis.

These blocks look great. I love how you use some string blocks in your drunkards path blocks.
I used not to like yellow so much but now I can't think why!
I have no idea why I don't use or have much yellow in my stash! These scraps you have are so inviting! I just need to go shopping I guess. hee hee. mary in Az
I love a drunkards path block! All that yellow...so warm, sunny and happy. I tend to pass on large scraps when I'm piecing small things!
So many fun yellows to play with. Glad you found just the right scraps to use. Always nice to have choices.
Very cute sunny blocks! Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
Yellow can be such a warm, welcoming color. What delightful prints: dogs, butterflies, bugs. Thanks for linking with Kaleidoscope of Butterflies.
Cute, cute fabric... and I have some of the same cuteness... but not the counting sheep! You are ahead of the game with these done.
Yea for yellow! I agree with you! I love how you pieced that one "pie" part of your Drunkard's Path block! Awesome idea! You always teach me so much! You know, my RSC blocks were inspired by a string tutorial you did! Thank you for sharing!
Love drunkards path blocks. Makes me want to pull out my project of them and work on it. Yellow is my favorite color.
Squee!!!!! Those lady bugs and bees are way too adorable.
WOW we are having fun what a lovely bright blog to visit first thing in the morning it's made my day, never though to add 1/4 circles to pieced block like that but wow what impact it has, adds so much more movement and makes those pieced block pieces sparkle. You have set my mind reeling in all directions LOL Yesterday I made scrappy strip diamonds and it was such fun just pulling a strip at random because it popped out at me no thinking just painting with fabric it wa ssuch fun. Hugs Glenda
I love how you're piecing those tiny scraps together for these blocks! It seriously adds so much to the finished blocks. This is going to be a really cool quilt!
So much yellow cuteness. i love how you managed to combine all those different fabrics. Thank you for joining The Really Crafty Link Party this week. Pinned!
I love a good yellow, and Iike your use of scraps to make up into larger blocks, nice work! Look forward to seeing where this one goes :)
Great blocks, it is always so much fun to see the different blocks!
