After finishing my Pathways quilt earlier in the week (see this post), I had some time to just play in the sewing room, and that is what I did!
First I decided to do a little sorting and reorganizing. Since moving my sewing up to a corner of our master bedroom a year ago or so, I've been using these plastic baskets from Dollar Tree to hold what I am currently working on right now. Right now it is the supplies for the Stay at Home Round Robin, which has just started. And my pink scraps and blocks for January's Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks are in the other basket.
Of course, doing that sort of thing gets you thinking about cutting and sewing, so I had to make a few pink blocks!
If I could get two inch squares, I made some four patches. These are 3.5 inches.
Or maybe they will turn into 16 patches???
2.5 and 3.5 inch squares can make more quarter square blocks. These blocks are 4.5 inches.
And 3.5 inch squares turned into a sixteen patch star block. I've been wanting to make this block for awhile, and I like how it turned out! These finish at 12 inches.

It's lovely to have time to just play in your sewing room. I love your pink blocks. I think the 16 patch star block is my favourite so far ;-)
And another round of RSC quilts begins! Pretty pink scraps in your blocks. Gail at the cozy quilter
I've wanted to make the 16 patch start block for awhile myself! I might add it to my RSC list for this year. But I don't have many pink scraps! May need to see what I can do 😊
Look at you all organized! Those are pretty little 4-patches. The blue with pink looks really nice on the quarter squares. Love the offset star block!
Pretty pink blocks. You Go Girl! :)
The baskets work well for organizing and moving those project pieces. Very pretty scrappy blocks. I actually have one of those 16-patch star blocks laid out to sew.
Loving the 16 patch star block! So many pretty blocks and oodles of quilt possibilities.
Lots of pretty pink projects happening at your house! Can't wait to see those projects grow this year.
you organized well! have you adjusted to a smaller quilting space now?
Very pretty in pink blocks. You definitely got a good start on this year's RSC projects.
Lots of fun pinks. Love all your blocks.
Your blocks are so cute. Those pink quarter stars with the blue background are striking. Love!
You know I LOVE the scrappy star block,! Each of your other scrappy blocks and parts are adorable too! You’ve got some great scraps!
There is something so appealing about an asymmetrical block. Love that positioning of the off center star in the 4 x 4. A great RSC block.
Love the block samplings!!!
I like that star block too, I've admired it on blogland for ages.
All great
Your star block is great! I can't believe it's been that long since you moved your sewing space!!
You are ‘in the pink’ for sure. Stay warm this week. Looking forward to the block or prompt for SAHRR on Monday.
What a sweet little star in the patchwork, I like that.
So much scrappy fun going on! It's always amazing to me all the fun directions a bin of scraps can take you.
What great ways to use up scraps!!
Organization is so helpful when organizing multiple ongoing projects. Off to a great start in using up so many scraps!
This is the right colour for January! Guess these who join SAHRR 2025 will be so excited to see what to do for the first row! Love your center block, eva
It is so good for our creative soul to just play around in our scraps; it never ceases to spark ideas. I, too, have always liked that 16-patch block with the white star. I have tons of squares sorted into 2" - 5" so I should get something going in pink with them.
Lots of pretty pinks in your stash! Isn't it fun to sit & play in your sewing space? A lovely block came out of all that playtime. Have another great week!
I really like your embroidered rabbit! Who made that pattern?
I love the organization. I too use baskets/bins to keep everything in its place. I just function better that way! That little embroidered bunny is super cute!
That is a perfect star block. A great way to use up scraps and a nice RSC project.
