The Last Pink - Photo Heavy

It will not be the last day of sewing Pink for me as my Pink scrap basket is not finished.

But I will work with
BLUE too. Yay! Blue! 💙💙💙
The little HSTs, turned into these pointy blocks, will be group together in this fashion. A blue and a purple were made from the latest scrap bags. I thought of showing my plan for these blocks. I call this project "Bonus Points". 


And of course, the ever faithful 9-Patch. I love that cat print. 

What's in the bag?
Now if you are curious to see what's in the bag, here's some pictures. (If not, just skip to the bottom.) I won't do this every time I get bags of scraps but this one was different. Let me show you what I mean. 

The bag on the right came from the BIG black bag from the first week of January. Still not done going through it. Then the bag on left showed up on my door step. Of course, I had to take a peek. 

The first thing that popped out was a bag from April Cornell. See Aprilcornell.ca (there's also an American website) for more info, as I didn't know who she was, I googled her up. Now what came out of the bag made my day.

Some fabric from every past decennials; 

Flowers in every colours;

Flow... Oh Grandma! Stay away from those brownies; 


Lol. Some pink and a lovely little piece of colourful buttons. 


Back to flowers; Now this print's stack is over an inch high. Given the size of the pieces, I can sew myself a shirt off these pieces. (I have found some more of the same print in another bag this morning.) 

Flowers with... Fish?!?  And a cute notion print. 

Fish with turtle (makes more sense) ; 


Anywho! There was a WHOLE lot more than that, if you look at the size of the bag, but suffice to say it was a flower girl paradise which I am not. 

This bag was easy to empty as the pieces were mostly fat quarters. One down! 

I'm not loving this print but I have enough to back a small quilt, so I'll keep it for now. 


This is my sewing room floor this morning. 
The pile closest to the chair (bottom left) are sewn pieces that I will take apart. From this bag (bottom right), lots of small little bits and skinny strings that went into the fireplace. It's taking forever to finish this one. But I can see the bottom now! Yay! 

Back to our usual programming. 
Sewing! 

While sewing the Pink scrap basket, I did finished two 4.5" crumb blocks. Most of my sewing time this week was spent working on my Table Scrap Challenge. See it here. 

I promise my next post will be about BLUE. 

Happy sewing, whatever colour you are working with. 
;^)



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

What an amazing amount of bits in that scrap bag!! I need to process the scraps that I took from my friend. . .because if they were organized, I'd be more likely to use them rather than to look at them. You inspire me every week! Thank you!!

Wowsers! Lots and lots of pretties in those bags!
Your Bonus Points blocks look like they'll be fun to play with. I'm looking forward to seeing them multiply!

Wow! What a haul. I’m sure you will make good use of what you can and move on what you can’t. Your HST blocks will be very effective.

That's a lot of scrappy fabrics to go through. It is always a treat when you get a sweet surprise.

Ooooh. What a treasure!

This makes me want to go through my older fabrics and destash them to a group who make charity quilts! I have a stash beyond my lifetime that I need to thin down.
