yellow block and a pillow start......

I finished the yellow block for the bottled rainbow quilt along, and I love this one too!  I had way more yellow than I realized and wasn't able to use it all!  I will have a great selection of yellows for someone who maybe has another color I don't have - maybe the eggplant that I have next to nothing of........
I used the blanket/applique stitch again and some I did with white thread and some I did with yellow rayon embroidery thread.  I love the mermaid's, but also love the 'tickets' from Punctuation, the little owls, the wavy stripe from Oz, and of course the KJR ribbon flower :)  The small floral above the pair of mermaid's is a chunk from my grandma's stash, had to include that!

After I worked on the yellow block, I started working on a project from the Moda Bake Shop.  The cathedral windows pillow cover.  I have the background done (not re-pressed yet after stitching together), I just have to choose what charm pack I'm going to use.  I might use a WeePlay, but I will have to audition a few to decide for sure.  I still have a bunch of Dandelion Girl - maybe I should use that since that is the quilt on my couch now (as well as a HST Dandelion Girl pillow).  That's probably what I'll go with now that I think about it.........

Can you tell that 'work' has been slow for me this week?  I feel guilty when hubby comes home from a long day at work and I've just been sewing and dinking around!
