Thanks Amy for letting me use your crayon altered for a title!

I really like this color. It is so bright and cheerful. I am in luck that I have something quilty already done in this color. Three Jane Stickle blocks.
 I will take bigger ones later and replace these. I am doing my Jane Stickle quilt in all modas. The background is Jet Black and brights. One of the bright colors is the Laser Lemon color (aka Citrus Yellow in Moda terms).Â
I am not very far in my Jane Stickle quilt (I refuse to call it by the other name!). I only have a little more than half a dozen done. I have to redo my green ones because I can’t get that fabric anymore. But that is another story.
the two colour blocks are a very good example of the yellow, and boy does it “pop” on the black. Way to go!
Thanks for visiting my new blog. You guys really know how to make the new kid on the block feel welcomed.
I set the number of columns according to the number of squares and made them narrow. Then I used the cell formatting to place the diagonal lines in the direction they needed to go for the hst. The borders were just open cells that I merged so there were no lines in them. Couldn’t figure out how to color just 1/2 of the square, to I printed it out and got the colored pencils to it so I would have a pattern to work from. It was a real challenge, but I have often said lately, I don’t really know enough about quilting yet to know what should be too advanced for my skill level, so if I like it, I go for it. My HST and squares are lining up better every time. I also use my mother as a guide as to when to rip. When she taught me how to sew, I spent much time ripping. Now my gauge is - if mama was here would she make me rip - if the answer is yes, out comes the ripper and I start unsewing.
Hi, Thanks so much for visiting my blog and for the birthday wishes. It’s been a very nice day and it’s about to end. Sigh!
