Monochromatic Challenge: August Edition

Pink!  If you've read my blog for a while, you might remember my agonizing over the Assistant's perpetual selection of pink fabrics at quilt shops.  I don't DO pink.  I have red-brown hair, so pink is not high on the list of colors I choose to wear, and therefore, I was never interested in quilting with it.

For this month, I was apparently in luck, as I had a sizeable pile of pink scraps (oh, yes, she then CUT up all her pink fabrics, so they weren't even in whole chunks!), and a few pieces of pink I had bought for projects for her.


I remade my table runner (anyone getting tired of seeing variations yet?), this time without setting triangles. My binding leaves something to be desire, but I think I would do it again and it would look much better.  I just had to pin in the inset corners frequently.

It's done, I almost like the pink, now on to... green for September?

Check out the other monochromatic challenges (I hope there are more this month!) at Judy's place.

Cute idea. Looks good. I can see it on a table decorated for Spring.

when you have a pattern that works for you, I say use it. great job, especially for a color that is not a favorite! cw

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
