A new month, a new colour. Angela has chosen pink and rose pink for us this month. I made two churn dashes,
and two crumb blocks.
I have a lot of strips and crumbs in these colours, but not a lot of larger pieces to make hst for my churn dashes, so it'll be an interesting month. I'll have to be creative, or make tiny churn dashes!
I sewed those yellow crumb blocks from last month together, adding white sashing and borders.
I need to add more borders to make it a bit bigger, and found a kind of caramel coloured solid to use for a first narrow border, but the only large yellowy pieces I have in my stash are chickens........
or oranges.........
This will be donated for a child's comfort quilt, so either pattern will work, I like the chickens, they're fun, and have a similar mix of yellows, golds and oranges as the scrappy blocks, but I'm not absolutely convinced. It looks like a trip to Spotlight this week to see if I can find something that works better.
Linking with So Scrappy, pop over and have a look at all the projects that have everyone in the pink this week!
Great start on your pink scraps. Love the yellow quilt and I think the chickens would be cute for a kids quilt.
ReplyDeleteI'm usually so slow starting my RSC blocks, it's good to have a bit done at the beginning. The chickens are so cute, aren't they? Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteOh, chicken border, please. It makes me giggle :) a78mandel at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteI think either of those border options work, but have fun shopping for something new and different!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been shopping for fabric for ages, it's always fun to look, and I'll probably come home with nothing and use the chickens anyway :)
DeleteWise choice with the chickens, they do look fun! It will be a super quilt and the yellow blocks look wonderful together.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lyn,it'll be nice and cheery for a little one needing some comfort.
DeleteI think either works in terms of colour. Could you make a piano key border using both? Unless, of course, you really want to make that Spotlight trip :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks so far Nanette with the pretty pinks & rose colours... if you really get stuck & want some more pieces, I'm sure I have some I could send you!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying digging through my pinks for this month's blocks. Thanks for the offer, I'll keep it in mind. I found a few squares I'd put 'elsewhere' for another project, so they might get me through.
