Pretty Pinks

Let's start with JoJo updates, since I know you must all be anxious to know how we're all still whole.  He hurt his eye (third time's a charm?) but didn't need stitches.  This kid has insomnia like nobody's business.

Miss G likes to roll over when I'm not looking, so I have to be pickier when I lay her down so she doesn't roll into anything hard.  She's also quite a chatterer when the mood strikes, and it's so cute you can't help but stop what you're doing to listen.

On the sewing front, I whipped out the last two Easter clothes, a skirt and a dress for the girls.  I still have a few finishing touches for the dress, but it's good enough for the week.

I also made 24 more 16-patches.  I love how these blocks look, but since I'm working from scraps and not strips, it takes a LONG time to put these darlings together.  I don't have many pinks left, just some triangles and nine patches for my Bits and Bobs quilt are left.  It's really okay, since I have more of the Carrie Nation blocks that could use attention next week, and I need to work on some hand quilting!

Be sure to check out other scrappy pink projects every weekend.

Great 16 patches! They do take a long time when working with scraps.

It's amazing how much quilting time is spent in the cutting of fabric. Your 16 patches look great.

Jennifer said...

great use of your scraps!

Mari said...

Wow, that's a lot of little squares!Looking good, though! Glad JoJo is okay. Those are the kind of stitches you want to skip!

Busy busy. It does take longer to use scraps than strips, but it is so much more satisfying

Very pretty 16 patch blocks. I like the two color combination.

Kate said...

Glad JoJo wasn't hurt any worse.

Very pretty 16 patches. Finishing 24 of those is pretty significant.

busy household, it is a wonder you get so much done. I love your 16 patches, and yes they do take time, but so worth it.

Love your scrappy pink 16-patch blocks. Yes. It does take longer to work up scraps than cutting into new fabric!
Sounds like you are making progress making Easter clothes this month : )

Think JoJo will become a doctor when he grows up? Glad he is ok and so fun when babies chatter and roll over. Hope she does not take after her brother with injuries. Greg pink blocks.

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...
