Tickled Pink

I've never thought of myself as a big fan of the color pink, but I sure am having fun sewing with it this month!

When the new Tiny Tuesday block post showed up the other day, there just happened to be a pile of little pink bits and pieces on my cutting table.

It was so much fun to turn them into this adorable wonky star!  Thanks, Angela, for a great block idea and tutorial!

My new camera likes to make pink look florescent...

When I turned the star on point and added its gray sashing, it became a star burst!

This photo is taken with my old camera - it reads the pink more like I see it.

I had a chance to put all the blocks up on the wall yesterday, and they're starting to look like something!  

Love these little blocks!

I also pieced my pink string blocks this week.

I really like the bits of green that pop out from that one fabric!  I could see a whole quilt out of these pink and green strings, I think.

Here are all the string blocks so far, too.

I'm not quite sure where this one is headed yet, 

but I definitely love the diamond shapes that are forming.  

I'll have to do some more thinking about

 how I want to put the quilt top together.

Other pink sewing has been going on in between these two projects,  but I didn't get pictures of them yet.  Maybe I'll squeeze them in to next week's post even though we will have moved onto a new color for August.  Hard to believe I'm typing the word August already - yikes!  The weeks and months fly by, don't they?!

Linking up with Soscrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday.  Check out all the pink posts over there!
