Pink and more pink

I decided to add a little bit more pink to my stash this week.   Since I was planning to use pink in the most recent block for the Pieces of My Life QAL, I figured there would be scraps left for a few RSC blocks! 


That pretty swirly piece on the left had a great selvage!  I decided I had to keep this one.


For Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects this week, I added a couple more zipper blocks to the collection.  

Pink...


And more pink...

The other four blocks were made last year.

Here's the group I've made - just four more needed and then I'll be sewing them into a top.

It's no wonder quilters are saving selvages lately. So many sayings, so many color designs. Those zipper blocks are looking really good!!

Sara said...

Your Zipper blocks are looking so good together. That's going to be a fun quilt. I almost have enough of them for a good sized quilt.

The pink swirling fabric is a great addition to your stash and to your zipper blocks. Getting close to having a top.

Ah. I figured out how I can leave comments again! Now I have to right click on the comment link and choose open in a new window. Whatever! lol LOVE your zipper blocks when all the colors join together. Makes me want to make some. Do you have a mathematical method for using the whole strip?

Cathy said...

Those new zipper blocks are scrumptious! I’m absolutely loving your blocks so far. That reminds me that I have dozens of them to sew into a top. Nothing like seeing great blocks (yours) to spur me on to get back to sewing!

Those new zipper blocks fit right in. . .how awesome to be four away from having enough to stitch a top!

Laura said...

Like so many, I am loving your zipper blocks!:)

Mari said...

Love all those beautiful pinks

MissPat said...

That's an interesting selvage. Might be a challenge to use though, given it's length. And selvage sent me to Google to find out whether it's selvage or slevedge. Apparently both are correct, with selvedge being British English and selvage, American.
Happy Mother's Day.

That is a very cool selvage. Very pretty in pink zipper blocks. Oh so close to another finished top.
