I did manage to sew up my yellow bow ties this week but that was about it. Somehow I miscounted and got 11 not 12.... I guess while I am prepping some border blocks for my 1857 quilt today I'll have to find one more yellow to make a bow tie block with.
Just showing a progress photo of the bricks and stepping stones with the borders. It is a top now and just needs to get quilted...once I piece a backing for it... and give it a good press of course!
Linking up with the RSC Challenge. Head on over and see what other yellow scraps are being worked this week.
I do wonder what color July will bring. I have a trip planned next month with the kids up to Vermont for a couple of weeks so am thinking of what to bring with me to work on by hand. I have been thinking of prepping some appliqué basket blocks to bring with me....... in blue... but we shall see what color comes up in the rotation. I do have PLENTY of other hand work projects in process so I really don't need to start something new.... but.... something new is always fun to work on!

you are just so sunny! The quilt is beautiful! I'm enjoying the bowtie blocks happening around the 'hood.
Love your quilt top! That pattern is on my bucket list.
Fishing for the July RSC color. Hehe. I wonde too. Lol. Be safe on you trip, dear. Happy sewing.
Your bow tie blocks are sunny and fun! It's always nice to finish up a quilt top - how will you quilt it?
Delightful little bow ties, and I just love the look of your bricks and stepping stones.
I imagine that you are getting more and more excited to visit Vermont soon and I hope that the weather will be perfect there! Great progress on both of these projects :)
Love your bricks top. Such a fun design. Congratulations !
Bricks and stepping stones makes a lovely country style quilt with the lovely checks and plaids. Wonder what July's colour will be? Blue or pink would work for me.
I'm feeling the lure of shiny and new, too! Your Bricks and Stepping Stones quilt seems to have taken on a complete personality change with the addition of borders. They really calmed down the scrappiness! (I wondered when you would be taking the kids to Vermont and now I know. I'm sure you'll have a great trip!)
Yellow is such a fun color. And I still love the Bricks and SS!
Love your yellow bow ties! Enjoy Vermont! I'm envious - we don't get to go that way this year and I'd love to go back. ~Jeanne
I'm guessing blue for July since we've already had red. Sweet little bow ties in their sunny best. Love the border you chose for Stepping Stones.
Cute bow ties! Love the quilt too.
Adorable little bow ties. Very pretty quilt.
Looking forward to seeing how you quilt the Bricks & Stepping Stones!
I love your Bricks and Stepping Stones! Must add that one to my list. And your bow ties are so cute! Such a fun post.
Cute bow ties. I'm wondering what color is up next too!
