Light Pink blocks all make

I dug thru my scraps this time looking for pink prints. I found lots of good stuff! Here are the seven blocks I needed to finish the light pink top. I could not find a scrap of that floral with the light green background so I just substituted another green.
Here is the top all ready to sew together.  It is a bit plain.  I could see it Ann-a-fied (I made that word up) which means Ann of Fret Not Yourself   http://fretnotyourself.blogspot.co.uk adding some of her fabulous appliqued flowers across this quilt top to jazz it up!
Here are the dark pink blocks that I had seperated from the light pink blocks. I need 17 more to make this a top.
While digging thru my scraps over the last few days I have come up with some darker pink solids. I will be cutting these up and using them for the darker pink blocks I need.   This won't be enough fabric, but I have some darker pink yardage in the stash.
It does take longer to make 16 patch blocks this way - that is, using scraps and it does make quite a mess. I iam just glad that I have my bins of scraps to use

  2. Boy oh boy, isn't that the truth about using scraps makes a bigger mess and usually takes longer! But I absolutely LOVE using scraps...they make me happy like a pig wallowing in mud ;-).

  3. some people prefer plainer quilts so I would leave it as is. It would look great in a pale pink room.
