Sew Sunshine

Pink Tint!   I searched my stash and what do you know? I found 22 solid pink flavors in there!!! Yes and I think there may have been more but I pulled these out and decided I wanted to use as many as possible. Yes, I hoped to use some up but alas..no! I recently unearthed a Tula Pink book and an oldie book from my mom about basic traditional quilt blocks. After last months P.Q. 14 challenge of "one" or first, I liked using a few shapes as possible so I settled on a tumbling block.  Two shapes make up this whole quilt, the diamond and the triangle. Combined they make a half hexie! Found this variegated thread in my stash too! I did not waste any time finding a backing, I walked into my stash closet where I have bigger pieces and voila, a two tone pink print was right on top.  There she is: Tumbling Tower of Pink P.Q. 14.2  40" x 49" Stash fabrics Diamond pattern quilting with variegated thread Linking up with the host of Project Quilting  Kim at Persimon dreams   and

I put my boots on and went to a few of my photo haunts today. Some easy to get to others not so much because of all the piled up snow. It was so beautiful and calm outside this morning. Fog and rime on trees and surfaces.  Anyway, scrappy scraps here was what I was working on trying to get to the bottom of my scrap bin. Can't even see a dent yet so....more to come hopefully.  You can't really see how beautiful this tree frost is but take my word.  You can see a little more on that front branch.  Oh yeah back to the quilt..... I think I am walking in deer tracks and other various critters.  I could have went scrappier on the back of this one but with so many seams on the front it just felt safer to use a bigger piece. I have plenty of those in my stash too.  This scrap quilt measures 50" x 56" All stash/scraps diamond grid straight line quilting My other recent scrap quilt can be found  HERE linking up with Sarah and  Can I get a whoop whoop and Wendy @  Peacock Party
