A little more with pink...

In my Thursday post, I shared that I had lots of tulips ready to bloom, and then we had a record low temperature Wednesday morning, which resulted in the poor tulips all bent over and laid out on the ground!  They never did perk up, so rather than give up on them, I went out later in the day and cut a bunch to bring in and see if I could save them.

And look!

There's some pretty pink!

In the sewing room, I've been finishing up my pink blocks for the month - Masala Boxes and Chandelier blocks.


It's always fun to put groups of blocks up on the design wall as I add the new colors.  Here's how my design wall is looking this week.

I made two chandelier blocks in every color last year, 
so decided to add two more in each color this year.

Progress!

I hope you went out and cut the rest of your tulips so you can still enjoy them! Your RSC pinks play nicely with all the other colors you have done.

I'm glad your tulips perked up - guess they needed some warmth!

Marvellous progress! This is my favourite way to build a quilt, which I learned being part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!

Those tulips perked right up! Wonderful. I love those Masala and Chandelier blocks. I think there might be a dive into Masala at some point this year. But maybe I should finish up some of the current projects first. HaHaHa

Beautiful blocks, the chandelier ones look so pretty. I'm not familiar with the other blocks so I'll be interested to see them all come together.

I discovered some beautiful yellow tulips in a side garden I rarely go to. Your RSC wall is so pretty. I may have to make another Masala Box quilt.
