A Finish!


One thing about smaller quilts is that everything goes so fast!  I chose simple "straight-line" quilting using the wavy stitch on my machine...


The backing was pieced and in keeping with the pinky goodness of the quilt top...


....and, after studying pink string quilt images online, I selected a pink fabric that would blend in with the pink busy-ness of the top.


After taking a trip through the washer and dryer and developing its crinkly softness, "Pinkalicious" will be off to stay with a good friend of mine!

New Project


Yesterday morning, I put the girls to work sorting the pinks and purples in one of my scrap bins...


...because I decided that busting some of the accumulated pinks....



...would be a good thing to do.... especially when I had some help.
