Pink Wheel Keep On Turning

Pink wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rolllin', rollin on the river!

I hope you will forgive my word play this morning, but that song kept running through my head as I assembled the rows for my pink Carpenter's Wheel block!
I stitched the final rows together this morning, and went outside (yay - we have sun today!) for some al fresco photographs.  Pink was a great Rainbow Scrap Challenge choice for February - it really helped fight the winter doldrums!
Pink and Blue enjoying a few moments of sunshine.  Seeing these two together makes me happy, as I think I finally have the block construction process fine tuned.

Some additional pink fabrics were sliced and diced this week for the Rainbow Scrap Sampler.  

And I created some architectural elements to go with my 16 patch blocks.  Many scraps were put to good use!

As always on Saturdays, I'm linking up with the other Rainbow Scrappers over at Angela's blog.  See you there!

    So glad you figured out the perfect procedure for your carpenter wheel block. What a beauty! It will almost be sad to say goodbye to pink.
