RSC in yellow

 I have not done too much in yellow yet, but hopefully that will change this weekend. The kids and I both have Monday off for Presidents day. Saturday looks like a rain day - that means sewing time!

I did get these 5 sets of blocks sewn together. They measure 10x50 - and will be a double sided runner for the dining room table. I think I decided I will machine quilt through four patches for a cross hatch. I hope to get it quilted this weekend now that I have made that decision. The quilting decision often becomes a stop sign for my projects.

I took a photo Friday morning so here are my first 11 hexagons. I have another 6 prepped and sitting next to my recliner for one per night. So many shades of yellow!

Thursday I managed to machine quilt this Stashbuster 2020 quilt I made with the RSC. I finally decided to stitch through the chains and I like how it came out. I am debating a flower in the centers.... but not sure I am capable of machine quilting that.... and with warm and natural batting it really doesn't have to have more quilting added. I just need to trim and make a binding - which Emily will press for me! 

Linking up Saturday morning with Angela over at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

After dropping the kids off to school I swung by Market of Marion - gate F for the produce section. They open at 8 on Friday and I got there a little after 9AM. Just a few shoppers in the open under tent market.  Got all this for $19! I though that was pretty darn good. The melons will get cut today and the chickens are going to go nuts with the inner seeds I think. Hubby requested these - they were $1 each and are all set to get cut up today. Gold Honeydew is new to us but the regular honeydew was not going to be ready to cut for 4-5 days according to the vendor. I got some tomato, limes and cilantro for some fresh salsa (jalepeno and onion and garlic I already have).  I need to cook up a pot of barley - I found it was a yummy lunch of a cup of barley cooked in chicken stock with some fresh salsa on top. The last time I cooked up the barley - I used it for a few days for lunches and hubby was having some at night when he was hungry. It was yummy as a little soup with some chicken broth, mushrooms and leftover chicken.  I used the last of the carrots in the stir fry last night so picked up some more. Plant City Strawberries -2 huge ones were already on my breakfast plate this morning with my wheat english muffin. The beets looked great and Em and I love them. Asparagus will go with grilled pork chops and roasted potato for dinner tonight.  I love the fresh produce this time of year in Florida. It is the second week I have gone there and I have a feeling it will become my go to Friday morning stop while school is in session. The spring onions last week grown in with the strawberries were oh so yummy too!. The cauliflower (purple!) looked so great but I had just had it this week so will pick some up next week.
