Enough Pink?

Pink is not one of my favourite colour so I'm starting to have enough of Pink. 

I sew Pink
Crumb Blocks 


and Pink 
Bonus Points units (the last one is not that dark, it's more salmon)

and Pink 
Friends' Favourite base units. 
(I had to cheat a little with the one on the right. I love this print and it's the first time I see it in pink. It was just not 3.5". The seams are just not a quarter inch. Ha! They all came from the bags.) 


and Pink 
Baby Flannel quilt 


and Pink 
Stained Glass blocks (the ones on the left are salmon, not brown.)


and Pink 
9-Patch blocks. The salmon print is truer in this picture. 


and I got Pink 
WOF and Fat Quarter

samples of the scraps and 


more samples of the scraps I got

from the BIG gifted bag of two weeks ago. I'm ready for something else. So, I sew 



Neutral
triangles for Stained Glass blocks
(Don't think I've done all these this week. They are a month's worth.)

and blue 

Shallow Pond blocks done during January

and blue
border on baby flannelette quilt with rockets

and Aqua
border on pink baby flannelette quilt 
I'm not exactly in love with the way I sew the border on this one. The corners are bothering me but then again, it's a donation. I won't see it ever again once it's done. They both need batting scraps and a backing, and to the "to be quilted" pile they will go. 

Also in the big scrap bag from 2 weeks ago, there is this Cat Elves fabric. It has glitters! 

I have a mind to use it as the backing for the crooked table runner from my last post. The colours don't match but it would be two for one, full of glitters. 😃

Fiona from BubzRugz told me she loves when I get scraps bags. She said: "it's like we all get to play with them!" (And I thought it was boring for you.) So, here's one more from the big bag. 

Found some hexies but one is MIA. 😕 (They aren't cut perfectly but still workable.) I hope to find it so I can do something with them. Or a little piece of the print would be good too. No, I'm not done looking through all those bags. (so many) As you can see in the picture, this print is also glittery. I think I jinxed myself when I called my December post "It's Glitter Season". 😄



With all these scraps recently added to the Pink bags (and all the other colours), I'm afraid my comparison photos, at the end of the month, will not show bags with slimmer figures. I'll try to use (cut) some more this week again. Sigh! Stay tuned. 

See you in a week, God willing. 
;^)

P.S. Thank you for all of your help about the comments not coming to my email. I appreciate the help and it is now working beautifully but I had to enable the approval thingy. Sorry for that. Enjoy your sewing time. :^D 

P.P.S. My little brother passed away this week. Don't feel bad, I'm okay and he is in a much better place. Poor kiddo, he had it rough. So, all is good. Enjoy your day no matter what it brings. 💖


I will visit these talented ladies over the weekend. Hope to catch you there too.

Condolences on the death of your brother.
I wouldn't worry about the border on your donation quilt. But an idea for the future when you use a stripe for the border would be to add cornerstone blocks , which is easier to do than mitering the corners. It will be loved just as it is. And that was a lot of pink.

My sympathy on the passing of your brother.
Your pink blocks are a home run! So many different blocks... I enjoyed reading through all of your narratives!
