Adieu to Yellow

Time again for the Saturday progress report for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!  It's been fun working with yellow, but I'm not sad to see her go.  There just weren't that many yellow scraps in my stash, so I'm about out of fresh combinations for scrappy blocks.

I finished a few more leader-ender spools using yellow scraps.

A few yellow wonky log cabin blocks from yellow & gold scraps.  I'm going to set these aside because I just don't have a large variety of yellow scraps to do these justice.  Maybe I'll have more yellow scraps later down the road.

I did have a blank design wall earlier this week, so I popped all the happy scrappy houses up for a look.  Seeing them altogether really made me smile!  I'm still contemplating how I want to assemble these into a finished quilt at the end of the year.

You may have noticed a new button on my sidebar - Celebrate Sewing with St. Anne.  I'll be featuring St. Anne sewing machine post cards on Tuesdays during the month of July.  At the end of the month there will be a linky party to celebrate St. Anne's feast day and share our love of sewing.  I hope you'll considering joining the fun!  The button should be grab-able if you want to share it on your blog.

I do have one more yellow New Orleans house to share this week.  The house is located on Bayou St. John, an inland waterway that travels from Lake Ponchartrain to the center of the city.  It's not far from City Park, where Dear Hubby and I like to Geocache on summer evenings.  It was on one such evening I captured this rather magical picture:
