I made my twinkle star block. Don't look too close at those seams.
I also got the dresden plate block picked out, prepped and sewn together while waiting for Mom to get ready to go shopping on Wednesday.
Next was pulling the fabrics and cutting out my 2.5 inch squares for the trip around the world block. I drew my lines on Thursday morning and got this much done in the last two games of bowling that morning. I do love those bumble bees =) Did you know Deborah means Bee in Hebrew?
I also made the decision to frame my midget appliqué blocks with a 1.5 inch yellow strip. I'll keep this one hand pieced I think and add them as I finish them up. I'm thinking a blue strip will go in-between them to tie it all together at the end. I draw the 4.5 inch line around on the back when I prep the hand appliqué on these so I have a guide to attach those frames already =).
A very productive week of scraps! I'm linking up with SoScrappy for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge on Saturday and also Oh Scrap! on Sunday. Head on over and visit the links for some great inspiration.

Neat yellow blocks--like that one with the white star...hugs, Julierose
Your Twinkle Star (and all of your blocks) are looking good!! Don't worry about those seams... it will quilt out. :o))
Oh I like seeing your midgets all together! Great tip on the hand piecing line! I like the yellow with them too!
Your midgets are simply adorable as a collection. Wow, what a quilt they will make. Great progress on all the yellows too.
I just can't wait to see those little midgets together as a quilt! So cute! Your yellows are so bright and cheerful ... just what I needed this rainy morning. Love your scrappy star, too.
So, you really are a Busy Bee! I like the twinkle star and how about those mini, mini, mini appliqué blocks! You must have so much patience.
You got a lot done this week. Love the bees! My favourite mug has bees on it. Also love the little midget blocks. They will look fabulous with yellow around them
So much cuteness with yellow! Is that green grass I see in your pictures? Yay Spring!
You were able to get quite a bit done Great job on your yellows.
Beautiful yellow blocks. You've got some fun scrappy projects going this year, but my favorite is that gorgeous Dresden Plate.
What a great variety of projects. I love the bees too and since my sister is named Deborah knew about the meaning. Those midget blocks are so cute.
Very productive, indeed!!
Those bright, sunny blocks are surely enough to chase the winter blues away.
Great work!
Is that grass I see in your pictures? It sure sparks the yellow. Great midget blocks.
They are soooooooo cute!
Wow. you got a lot done with your yellows!
What wonderful blocks. The Dresden is so sunny and happy! Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
Either you move fast or mom moves slow. Some fun yellow scrap projects. Yes, I've visiting fro Oh Scrap!
I didn't know that Hebrew translation. What a cool thing! I like your projects. I know it's a shadow in the photo but if you had a dark brown center for your dresden plate it'd look like a Black-Eyed Susan flower. www.quiltartbymegan.com
