A little yellow finish...

 for March Table Scraps!

I started the month as I often do - pulling out the yellow (for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color of the month) scrap bin and found these crumb blocks which had been sewn awhile ago.  Maybe even last year?

It didn't take too long before I had a rectangle made of pretty yellow scraps!

This measures about 8 x 10.

To go along with the flowers and blue butterflies, I embroidered the word "Hope" in blue and a white daisy in one of the scraps.  

Why the word hope?  Because the second part of this month's challenge was to make something inspired by a poem or song, and here's a poem I love.

Hope  by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

Hope has holes

in its pockets. 

It leaves little

crumb trails

so that we,

when anxious,

can follow it.

Hope's secret:

it doesn't know

the destination

it knows only

that all roads

begin with one

foot in front 

of the other.

Some wavy quilting and a matching blue binding complete the look!

Quilting is a little like hope - you don't always know the destination, but it does start with putting one foot in front of the other - or stitching one scrap to another!
