Pink is the color for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge this month. As I looked through my fabric bins, I realized my scrappy pink choices were getting a little thin. That meant I needed to make some more scraps, i.e. indulge in a little stash enhancement. Fortunately, I found some great pink fat quarters and have sliced most of them up into usable strips and chunks to feed the RSC fun!
Before I started on the pink scraps though, I was inspired by the Fourth of July to make a red, white, and blue Burgoyne Surrounded block.
I wanted to use that red, white, and blue print that looks like fireworks as the central fabric for the block. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!
I had already cut out this pink and green block last year, but never got around to stitching it. It went together quickly, although I just now spotted two errors. Just when I think I can finally make these blocks without mistakes, I mess up!
I used some of my new pink scraps and chunks for two Sugar Bowl blocks.
They will join previous Sugar Bowl blocks. I think I only need two more colors to finish out all the blocks for this quilt.
There are still some more pink projects to work on this month, but first I need to go fix that &*@! Burgoyne block. Go enjoy some pink scrappy projects at the RSC link-up while I practice my seam ripping!
