I managed to scrounge together enough fabric to make the three yellow blocks I need for my Rainbow in the Dark quilt
I had to cut strips off some stashed fat quarters and yardage to do it. I don’t normally like to do that for scrap quilts – I like them to be true leftovers from other projects, but I also don’t want this one to drag on forever. I’d like to have it wrapped up and off to my friend in a couple months.
Blue will probably be up next, because I’ve got plenty of blue strips, but I’m going to have to raid Mom’s scraps to get enough for orange, red and purple.
Very, very pretty. I know several people who would adore those blocks because yellow is their favorite color. I could never make a quilt from scraps since I don’t sew enough to have a variety.
Blessings,
Betsy

I can send strips! What width are you using?

Now I know I have to snap a photo of my great-grandmothers quilt that I have; I think you’re design is a lot like what I inherited!

The color range of my fabric stash is very limited, so I’d really struggle with a quilt like this.

Love the yellow and black! I always start with scraps but then have to resort to pulling fabrics to get my color range.

The contrast between the black and yellow is just so striking. Very pretty.

Nice! I noticed that if you would turn the block 90 degrees, it looks like a heart! that’s going to be a very cheerful quilt.
