Week 25: one yellow, one green, and some Celtic sunshine.

No, I haven't been to the lands of the Celts this week. Not in person anyway, just in my memory. More later.

In June the colour for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge is yellow, and this week I've made one yellow block:

Bright Hopes

Aren't those dancing elephants sweet? It was a block in a charm pack and I think the chance of my making a baby quilt any time soon is extremely remote, so no problem cutting it in half. So as the elephants were dancing I gave them some music to dance to! It's a catchy tune, too, although I don't think I'd heard it before. It's definitely not "Nellie the elephant"!

And one green block:

Carrie Nation

which I had somehow missed when Angela posted the pattern. Actually I found a lot more patterns for green blocks I'd missed. My reading is slipping!

Not much rainbow sewing this week because having corrected and added the borders at the beginning of this week, I've been quilting this:

Celtic Solstice - nearly finished piecing

On the subject of Celtic Solstice: this was the reason for my starting to blog last December. I'd forgotten; so much happens in six months in Blogland. But yesterday I saw Val's anniversary post where she asks people to link their first blog posts. You can see mine here, although in December there was just the message and the photos. I still had a lot to discover (and still have). Go to Val's Quilting Studio, have a look there and join in the linky party. It's interesting to see how people's styles have changed since they first blogged. Anyway I started blogging so I could join the link up for Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt, about six months after discovering that there were quilters with blogs! And since then I've spent too much time reading blogs, so that quilt still isn't finished!

I'm linking up to:

so head over there too, and see what's going on!

Happy Sewing

Marly.
