I have started the month of February scraps with four 6" sampler blocks. Three of the blocks have come from the blocks that Soscrappy has shared with us.
This block I am calling Cake Cross. It is Block #2 in the 100 Modern Quilt Blocks. I love this cute little cake print and I just had to fussy cut a few cakes for this block.
I have bought a few new books this month. I bought this one for using in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2014 (RSC14). There are many great blocks I can use for my scraps.
I also got two pineapple log cabin blocks done. There measure 4 1/2" as they are very small and take loads of time to do. Some of the smallest bits of fabric can be used. I am not sure how many I will do, the big quilt calls for . They are from Bonnie Hunter's String Fling book. I did have a little pink in the two blocks.
I went back to the blue scraps and cut out some scraps for a Lantern block.
Here are the pink scraps cut out for the Lantern Blocks. They are 2" wide.
This is a start of the cutting for the background fabrics for the lantern blocks. I hope to get the pink block and blue block sewn for next week. You will have to wait for me to show you what I am calling a Lantern block. Yes, this is a new project for me.
I have added this post to Soscrappy's Ticked Pink

ReplyDeleteVery pretty pineapple block. It is so small. What a sweet dog.
ReplyDeleteI love what you've done with your pinks. Especially the one with the cakes, and also the one on the bottom left in your first picture.
ReplyDeleteLove your pineapple blocks, your blue and pink scraps ... and especially your variety of black on white prints.
ReplyDeleteThe pineapple blocks are so cute. I can only imagine how long it took to piece all those itty bitty pieces.

ReplyDeleteYou blocks really caught my eye on the linky thumbnail so I had to visit you first. They are absolutely gorgeous!! Tula's book is on my wish list to get too. Cute picture of Gemma she's adorable!!
ReplyDeleteThe City Sampler blocks will go so well with the RSC Sampler blocks. Perfect choice! Your lantern blocks look so far like the soul searching blocks I am seeing so much of lately. Great start on pink!
ReplyDeletePretty pink blocks and lovely fabrics you've got ready for the lantern block.
