Mellow Yellow

They call me mellow yellow – that’s right . . .  some of you may recognize that line from an old Donovan song. While this yellow isn’t all that mellow, it is the fabric I chose for the September 2021 Monthly Color Challenge. 

You might recall that Jen is using fruits and veggies as her inspiration for the 2021 Monthly Color Challenge. September’s fruit is the pineapple, a favorite fruit in our home. We prefer it sliced and eaten fresh; however, BigJ is a big fan of Pineapple Upside Down cake. 

The printed fabric is from a fat quarter I picked up at JoAnn’s. I thought it would be fun to use it in this block, and I also thought I had it figured out so the design all went one way, but oops. Anyhoo . . .

Quite a colorful bunch, so far, I think, don’t you? This year, I’ve chosen to make the 6-inch blocks; it has been a nice change from the larger size I’ve made in other years. This is my third year playing along with Jen’s Monthly Color Challenge. 

I think my mellow yellow block is one of my favorites, but then I think that about each block I make each month!  

Are you playing along? Have you made a mellow yellow block yet?
