My Yellow Blocks



I am not really a yellow kind of person.

Not something you'd realize looking at my Instagram feed where I've been sharing a block daily.  My daughter has claimed this quilt.  She is busy repainting her room a shade of gray.  I've got an awesome block setting in mind that will bring in some gray negative space to balance out the yellow.

My favorite block so far might be number 2 because of the two elephants.  I also like #10 (no yellow) or #12.   Which is your favorite?

For my project, I am using this FQ bundle of Pastel Pop by Michael Miller which was sitting in my stash. These fabrics are the ONLY yellow I've got in my stash other than a bit in a solid.



Read more about the QAL here and follow along on Instagram with #100Days100Blocks2017.  You can find the 100 Modern Quilt Blocks book on Amazon.

  1. Those elephants in block 2 are very sweet, and I think #12 might be my current favorite. There are some great blocks here, so it's hard to pick, though. I really like this bundle you are using and think it will make a very cohesive quilt when all the blocks are made. I look forward to watching this grow and seeing how you plan to set them all together!

  2. I actually love those blocks! There's something about yellow, gray, and black together that really appeals to me. I can understand your daughter claiming that quilt!

  3. Going to be a beautiful quilt. Your daughter was smart to claim this, it's going to look great with her grey room.

  4. I love #2 with the elephants, #12 and #15. I'm doing this QAL as well and using black, grey, low volume and pink, but seeing your yellows I wish I had enough yellows to do one too. I'm having lots of fun, and don't tell anyone, but I've cut my blocks through #50, and hope to get them all sewed this weekend. I like being prepared. :)

  9. You could have fooled me. The blocks look great. Your daughter is very clever to have claimed the quilt already.
