RSC17 June was yellow.  I finished my 3 yellow bear paw (see previous posts), and decided to work on the Sunbonnet Sue with kiitty and flowers.  it is finished.  I tried my hand at using my Singer Quantum Stylist 9960 to machine quilt it.  I am still not a fan of quilting with machine.  I don't find it relaxing in the least.

Yellow is the color for the RSC 2017 June.  I like the top two but the jury is out about the bottom one.  I think it is too light against the background.

You can see how the top two stand out with this close-up.  

I was honored with a visit to my blog from Mystic Quilter https://mysticquilter.blogspot.com/ .  She is an incredible artist with fabric.  Her bold color choice has inspired me to explore exciting color.

No Scrap Left BehindI came upon this wonderful blog, Crazy Mom Quilts http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/  by the author of No Scrap Left Behind http://www.ctpub.com/no-scrap-left-behind/.  She has some lovely clear directions for some beautiful quilts made with scraps.  Loved her images of St. Louis Quilt Market 2017. June, 2017 is beginning of QAL with scraps.  This week it is sorting the fabrics.  I'm afraid that I may not have enough scraps.  Unlike other quilters that I see, I do not have bins of scraps.
