Pink Petals

 I have one last pink piece for the month, a pink flower for my farm quilt.  Woohoo!


Most of my sewing was dedicated to quilting and binding this lovely.  Now it’s done, and its next stop is the washing machine.  I really like how it turned out.  I used fleece instead of batting and backing, just for fun, and I love that it’s light and warm.

It’s been nearly two decades since I last made a strip twist, and I think I have it out of my system for a while now.  I like the colors and hope the recipient will as well.


Yellow will be perfect for February, as I already have one of the twin quilts cut out, and it’s yellow.  Next week will be dedicated to cutting out my yellow farm quilt blocks and modern vintage blocks (I hope!).

And that’s it for my weekly Rainbow Scrap Challenge report, as I have farm work to do.

Your pink petals came out great! Hope the farm work goes smoothly and you get a little play time in.

The Strip Twist quilt looks great, Katie! I've never tried using fleece instead of batting and backing - I'm glad to know you've had good success with that.

Lovely strip twist finish! I like your pink block. I've got Lori Holt blocks that I finished a couple years ago and need to make into a quilt. I love the fleece idea!

Love the pink block and the Strip Twist. Would you please tell us about the fleece you used?

That Strip Twist is wonderful! I love the movement and I'm sure the recipient will LOVE it!

 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...
