This week I was playing with yellow scraps for the RSC21. I used yellow scraps as the sashing and border of these churn dash blocks that have been sitting in a box for a few years from the Block Swap adventure. I got excited about it and just kept sewing.
The photo below turned out a little yellow due to lighting.
I'm quilting it using my template from Urban Elements called Dew Drops in the Garden. I think it really looks cute. The design has the right mix of circles, swirls, and leaves. Sometimes the combo looks like a butterfly.
I don't usually quilt with colored thread. It's usually white, beige, or off white of I'm feeling bold. LOL. Today it's all YELLOW. I love the effect! I see more yellow thread quilting in my future.

I was, just 5 minutes ago, winding bobbins for the next quilt as I got the backing and batting on the longarm. I have the same bobbin winder.
What a wonderful and cheerful quilt you have been working on Kathy. I just love the churn dash blocks and got tickled when you said you put the undesirable yellow fabrics on the back. How fun to have a wonderful assistant as well. Have a very lovely week. Your blog posts are always a delight.
Love the yellow quilting! I use colored quilting thread a lot.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to be using it more.
Thank you, Melisa. Yes, my assistant is a great helper.
I'm really happy with this bobbin winder. I'm glad I didn't get the fancy one that is on the machine. I'm going to try to teach my assistant how to wind bobbins soon. I have a little counter that sits on the window sill that I push the button every time I wind a bobbin. I know I've wound over 1,000. Can't wait to see what you quilt next!
