I've been playing with a little of this and a little of that in the sewing room this week. First I finished up the last hand-pieced plus block for yellow month.
Here's how that group of blocks is looking now with red, aqua, and yellow all together.
Added Saturday afternoon: a few leftover yellow squares were stitched into a small patchwork piece, and I have it ready to add some quilting stitches for my Slow Sunday Stitching with Kathy's Quilts.
I played some more with the Dutch fabrics that my friend gave me, and made enough Spiny Peaks blocks for a table runner.
In my SAHRR wallhanging, I used mostly reds and blues, but in this one there are all colors from pink, red, and orange, to dark and light blue, some cream and off-white, and this pretty mustard yellow. I would never have said I like mustard yellow, but I really like this!
And one small finish this week - some yellow cloth napkins for March. These are made out of a banana print which I love! So bright and fun!
I use two fat quarters to make these, and it took me awhile to find the right one to go with the bananas for the reverse side of the napkin. But this works!
It's been a fun week working on a little of this and a little of that!

Loving the B&W backgrounds on the plus signs--really pretty--it's coming along so well--hugs, Julierose
Those Spiny Peaks blocks will make a beautiful runner, Diann.
Love seeing all your plus blocks together.
Those text backgrounds look so good with yellows, and I LOVE your plus quilt. Cute placemats! I have that same gray background with yellow you used with that cute banana print. I printed out the pattern for the spiny peaks and it is waiting patiently on my cutting table - lol! That mustard yellow print is beautiful.
Hope you have a great weekend!
It is always fun to see the different colors of blocks as a collection. It is looking absolutely cheerful. Love the banana napkins. Too cute.
Your little plus blocks are lovely. Great napkins too.
What fun projects!!! I like how your offsetting the plus quilt - its really cute!
I'm still loving the plus blocks. Won't it be fun to add pink for April? And banana napkins, what a great cheery addition to your napkin assortment! Spiny Peaks will be a cute table runner!
Your Plus blocks have the best background fabrics and make me want to go make some just like them!
Well, you know I love those plus blocks dancing away on your wall. I do like mustard yellow and those little prints are lovely! Fun banana print for your napkins!
Very pretty yellows!
What a lovely and cheerful table those placemats, center, and napkins make. Gorgeous! Well done! ;^)
Those pluses look fantastic!
Love, love, LOVE how your RSC22 Plus quilt is growing and the sunshine the YELLOW blocks brought to it!!
A little of this and a little of that soon adds up in the sewing room! Love those pluses, I think I may well borrow your idea for next year.
A little of this and that all adds up. I love your hand pieced blocks. Gosh that's going to make a gorgeous quilt. And the cloth napkins are sure fun!
Love the plus blocks! I have a thing for texty fabric.
Your plus blocks look terrific!
The banana napkins are fun and cheerful.
I'm thinking I should make some nakinds for our table. Much better than to use up paper napkins. Everything is wonderful!! So sunny.
You were very productive! That always feels good.
I have got to start making my own napkins. I love the banana print. All of your current projects are so pretty. I love the print with the mustard background.
So many cheerful yellow projects this month in your sewing room! Those plus blocks are pretty together! I wonder what our next scrappy colour will be? I’m ready for it! Lots of scraps to use! Fun banana napkins.
I'm just about to start my first quilt this week. Am very nervous to start! Might need advice! Your red, yellow and aqua blocks look gorgeous together.

Great colorful blocks you are working on! Hope you have a great week!
The plus blocks are looking great! Love the banana napkins. So cheerful. Enjoy your stitching today.
You’ve got some great projects going on. That banana fabric is great fun. And I really like the fabric you are using with your plus sign blocks.
love the positivity blocks - I keep thinking of making some and now maybe I have the fabric to do it - we will see - I picked up a brightly colored selection at the quilt show maybe it will go to that!
I love how your plus blocks dance across the quilt. Staggering them is a great idea. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
So many happy yellow sunshiney fabrics. LOVE the SAHRR fabric; it is so pretty. Love those happy plus blocks, too.
I know what you mean, and I've heard it in a few places this week, how just making, playing is good. For our soul and spirit I will add. I love all the projects, but oh, your hand-stitched plus blocks are wonderful!
Your RSC Cross quilt is going to be really fun. I like the offset rows. The banana napkins are really bright and fun. Congrats on all the progress and on using up some of those odds and ends in so many projects.
The banana print for a napkin is such a fun idea. Love the Ukrainian sunflower piece as part of the table setting. The cross blocks are so much more interesting staggered as you have set them.
