Sometimes I have so much fun teasing Builder Bob......this is my block for the May
Scrappy Rainbow Challenge. Obviously the color was yellow.
I acted all excited and told him I was starting another quilt for our bed, then I showed him this block. Well we may be a "old" couple but we have only been married 4 years so he was trying to act like he really liked it. Then I told him I was just teasing and you could see the relief on his face.
Of course I wasn't done teasing him so I laid out these 5 blocks and said this is was the quilt is going to look like..........again he is trying to act like he likes it but isn't doing a good job. I told him not to worry as there will be 7 more block added in different colors.................I don't think he is looking forward to this quilt!
I can't wait to see what the color will be for June!

Love your block. It looks like a QAYG. I'm interested to see how this goes together.
WOW! It's so beatiful!
Oh poor Bob! I will stick up for you mate!
I love making string blocks. They will be wonderful no matter what : )
I am so sorry for Builder Bob, but I love the yellow...they are all beautiful and I want to make a string block so badly...but that yellow is scrumptious! Now I can't wait to see what next month's color is! The funny thing is, I was never a fan of yellow until last year...now it think it brightens up anything you put it in. Thank you for always sharing your creativeness with us!
Love all of your string blocks! It appears you will be doing them Quilt-As-You-Go style - I will be watching with interest to see the final assembly. I like all the different quilting styles as well!
Love your block!! I am hooked on making string blocks too. I've got a selvage string tote I made up on my blog. String blocks are so addicting!
I love all your blocks, but that yellow one just shines. Can't wait to see what they all look like together
wow Connie the colours are amazing,well done.xx
Ooh, pretty! The yellow one's so bright & sunny, and it looks great with the rest of them.
LOL, sorry Builder Bob, but I AM laughing. I like what is emerging! I really can't wait to see how it goes together (as you know, my one attempt to QAYG did not go well...LOL)
I'm a huge strings fan and these are lovely.
WOW! Your string blocks make a fabulous collection. It will be a stunning quilt no matter whose bed it graces.
Beth, these are great string blocks! I have to get back to my string quilt project and seeing your strings was a great reminder to me.
Thanks, Karen
Connie, I love your string collection and really like the quilting.
Very pretty! I'm ready for some blue and purple blocks.
Your string quilt will look great. I love that you have been quilting the blocks differently. I love the circle on the neutral and the wiggly line on the yellow.
These are so so pretty.
Love the individual quilting on the yellow and they look great together. Poor Bob. Give him a big hug.
they are gorgeous,,,and i love how you went over the lines,,,,
What a lovely man that Bob is...to be encouraging even when he doesn't love something :)
Your yellow block is my favorite one so far, and I liked the others one alot!
lovely
I am liking these! I will really be interested to see how you put them all together. Great job I like the latest one the best.
I really love the wavy quilting you did on the seams! very pretty and I love yellow. :)
Poor Bob! I love that block; the quilting makes it really sing!
(BTW, I came in from SoScrappy's Rainbow Challenge)
Well, your piecing & quilting are beautiful. Other than that...ummm...let's just say I loooooved the last one, no so much this one. I cannot imagine how they'll all go together in the end. Maybe each one of you could pick one color, then swap around so that all your blocks are the same color, but different, if ya know what I mean. Like, you get all yellow (ok, blue), and someone else gets all purple, then someone else gets all red, etc...until you're all done. Or not. I'm sure y'all will come up with something surprising & pretty!!
Hey, BBob...I hear ya!! :)
I LOVE your golden rod string blocks. They look great with the other beautiful blocks you have made for the rainbow challenge. I look forward to seeing your colorful quilt finished in December.
Wow, I love these blocks! I have wanted to try string blocks for a while now and I think these are my favorite from all the ideas I have seen. So pretty!
Keith's not a fan of string quilts either but I love them. We have two bed quilts. One is strings and one is not :)
I love how that looks! It's magical. I wouldn't mind it as a quilt!
Wow, wow wow! I can't wait to see this completed, it looks amazing so far! Thanks for stopping by ASG in the SLC and leaving me a note, I'm so glad I found you!
Ha Ha! Loved this post AND the block(s)!!
I LOVE your yellow block. I don't like making string blocks, but I like the final result. Ooh that yellowy goodness.....
