I love text fabric, and this was perfect for what I wanted to tell my friend. Plus, an added bonus - it fit right in with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge colors of yellow and gold for the month of April!
Sharing this at Sandra's DrEAMi linky over at mmmquilts.
There was just enough of the text fabric left to make a bowtie block, too, so that was sewn up.
While I had the yellow scraps out this month, I cut 2.5 inch squares and pieces for HSTs so that I could make a second Scrappy Sprout block in different yellows from the first one.
Finally, I added one more Sawtooth Star to my slowly growing collection! This one has some yellow in its pretty floral center.
And one last thing - earlier this year, I had said that one of my RSC goals this year was to make scrappy placemats for our dining room table, and when I decided on my project for Kelly's Stash Statement blog hop, I knew it would be perfect to help me achieve that goal!

I've enjoyed this month of yellow, and hope you have, too! Sharing at SoScrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday!
