I dug out all the pinks I could find this week, and they seem to tend toward the peach shade. Or maybe it's the lighting in my sewing room combined with the cloudy days we've been having. I guess it doesn't really matter because I sewed with what I have and came up with a pink patchwork heart and a 4 patch alternate block!
Here's an indoor photo taken by the living room window.
And an outdoor photo in the grass just to see if I could get a better result!
Those cream background fabrics are really standing out -
I might have to change that!
I'm up to twelve of these blocks now, and enjoyed laying them out together.
I also cut pieces for two hollow 9 patch blocks, and stitched one together. The other one will be my slow stitching for tonight.

So fun to see other people’s scraps…interesting how your pinks verse towards peachy coloured!
ReplyDeleteI like peachy pinks the best! You've got a really nice start on that heart quilt, those blocks all look so pretty together.
ReplyDeletePretty pinks! Those hearts are going to make a wonderful quilt.
ReplyDeleteI think your pinks are perfect for your heart quilt.
ReplyDeleteThe peachy shades of pink are just lovely. I've tried to sort my pinks, and separate those peach/coral ones into a different drawer. But some are just difficult to categorize. And they're all pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe chains between the patchwork hearts look really great. I love seeing it laid out.
ReplyDeleteNice work! Your chained hearts is growing and I'm looking forward to all your Hollow Nines sewn into a top...
ReplyDeleteI think the creams will blend in once you get all the blocks pieced. Fun to see the array of scraps.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nann, you've got some other cream in the other blocks, those fabrics won't look so out of place in the larger quilt. Enjoy playing with your pink scraps this month.
ReplyDeletethey read pink on my screen - pink comes in all different shades doesn't it I think they will mix in just fine
ReplyDeletePretty in Pink heart and chain block. I have lots of peachy pinks too. And even some I had to cull out cause they looked more brownish! I’m constantly stirring my stash! LOL!
ReplyDeletelove all shades of pink, and your hearts are so nice nestled in the diagonal lines

Your two blocks look great together in that rainbow of colors.
ReplyDeleteLooking good!
ReplyDeleteLooks like pink to me!!! Your blocks look terrific!
ReplyDeleteLove your heart blocks! It's going to be a beautiful quilt. So many shades of pink too, looks good. For my pink blocks, I used some pink squares that were more brownish, but was thinking; oh well, it's scrappy! lol
ReplyDeleteNow those are some gorgeous fabrics! Love the peachy pinks . Your heart blocks look fabulous. You have been a busy bee this week. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThose peachy pink fabrics are so pretty and make some lovely blocks.
