When I made that piece, I used every speck of yellow scraps in my yellow scrap drawer. I don&#8217;t always use a lot of yellow, so that was years worth of yellow scraps. Since April, I have cut only a few, oddly shaped yellow scraps. In order to make the above blocks into a&nbsp; true rainbow quilt, I need yellow.<\/p>\n<p>I can just cut some from yardage, right? What&#8217;s the problem? That is definitely the problem. What is holding me up from just cutting a few strips from yardage and making the dang yellow strip blocks?<\/p>\n<p>I have no idea, but that time is coming to an end. I want these blocks off my design wall and into the hands of a quilter in the guild. I need the space for another project.<\/p>\n<p>As a side note, I don&#8217;t put these donation tops on my UFO or WIP or to do list. I only work on one at a time, mostly, and I never take them off my design wall until they are done.
