Mostly yellow


Sometime around the beginning of the year I thought about making one quilt per month out of just one main color.   I figured it would be a fun way to help cut into my stash.  Well it took until April to finally get going on the idea.

The churn dash block is one of my favorite quilt patterns, so that's where I started.  I  pulled out the most yellow, cheddary pieces of fabric I had and added a touch of black.
Block size 9"
Quilt 45 x 45
For May I'm thinking blue 16 patch blocks.  Unless I get distracted by something yarny.

  10. Such an interesting concept to focus on one color at a time! I am LOVING your yellow quilt.:) I think I'm going to use a yellow to put my 2nd Quarter Circles quilt together--whenever I get back to it! Such a happy springtime color!
