Where did the week go? It's already middle March, which means we are heading towards cooler days! Hot and sticky today.
Beginning of the week was wet and thundery. We got almost 4" rain. Not much, but every little drop counts. Mauritius is in drought (it's the rainy season and almost no rain!?) Water restrictions are put in force. Water reservoirs are about 40% or less.
Enough of weather, whatever it is, we can't do anything about it!
Over to sewing!
The RSC color for March is yellow.
I made most of the blocks at the beginning of the month (here), but I needed to make a few more blocks for 'Eclipse'.
I love this warm yellow fabric so much. It's not easy to see, it has tulips, daffodils and other flowers with silver accents. Unfortunately it doesn't show very good on the photo.

I made a full circle! The sun!
I made two half circles and pieced them together.
Difficult getting the color right, it is a bit warmer than the photo. I tried to adjust the tint too, as you can see the pink background, to no avail. Sigh!

Using up more yellow fabrics; placemats and trivets.
Over the last weeks I've made 4 Norwegian flag table runners for my shop. I've finished 3, the last one to be quilted. (No photos). Last year I made some flag mug rug tops, which I quilted yesterday. I'm running out of red for the flags and bindings, I have enough for either the mug rugs or the TR. I have to purchase more, but before I do that I'll see if there is other things I really need. Remember I'm on SSD (Strict-Stash-Diet) this year!
I also finished 'Keep the Home Fires Burning' (my goal for March) this week. I need to sweep the porch before I can put the quilt on the floor and take photos.

Lovely sun, Astrid. If you tape the block to a window, the photo might show the flowers. I look at the image after I read that there is a print on the fabric and I could see some lines but unable to determine what they were. Enjoy! ;^)
Your WIPS are coming together so well...
If we got 4" of rain, it would be amazing--just dribs and drabs here lately...
1" is considered a lot!! We are still in drought conditions...
Have a great weekend hugs, Julierose
Your sun turned out lovely! We haven't seen much of it over the winter so yours was a welcome sight. It is actually trying to shine here this morning but it's still mostly cloudy.
I think your sun block is amazing! It can be frustrating when fabrics don't photograph the way we see them in real life. I believe you, though!
The sun block is perfect, Astrid! The placemats and trivets are pretty, too.
one doesn't always think of island countries being in a drought - but then those fires in Hawaii happened a couple years ago - I hope your island drought is not that bad.
Vakre gulfarger og vakker sol! Håper dere får regn snart! Her venter vi på våren, men fikk et nytt snøfall på onsdag. Heldigvis har det smeltet bort igjen allerede, np har vi noen fine soldager.
Great use of your YELLOW scrap, Astrid!
Lots of pretty yellows. Living in drought conditions must be a worry, do hope the rainy season obliges soon.
Lovely yellows! I hope that you get some rain soon to relieve the drought.
Pretty yellows,there are a few colors that my phone doesn't recognize & I have photgraph outside 😄
