ScrapHappy Saturday - Last Pink Weekend

 I hope that all of your pink plans are wrapping up.   I feel very done with the rosy shades and ready to move on to bright and shiny yellow for February.  

Dear Jane has 3 out of four borders sewn on and just three more blocks to finish for the fourth.  There is an end in sight!  I made this green block on Wednesday and it took SO long!  HST blocks for the center pinwheel, the orange peels appliqués on top followed by reverse applique of the circle over that.  I changed up the diamonds on top to use a failed attempt at pinwheels.   The entire top should be complete before the day is done.  

Pink was a good month for me this year.  I think I've added a few more crumb blocks to the mix since this photo was taken, but I definitely used LOTS of bits from the pink bins.  I don't have quite so much yellow fabric to work with, but it will be fun to dig in and see what  I can find.

Your Dear Jane is block is gorgeous! It's those blocks that take so long that are so worth it. Sunny yellow, here we come. Your design wall looks great!

I enjoyed seeing your Dear Jane blocks. I've followed several Dear Jane journeys before. Meanwhile, if you know of an online source for freezer paper, would you mind letting me know. I've searched and can't find any. Take care now.

Pink is not my color, so I'm glad mine are done. Your blocks look great. I like yellow, but I use the same fabrics over and over, so I don't have much variety.

Best of luck with that final Jane border block, Angela. Looking forward to celebrating the completion of your quilt top with you!

Sara said...

I'm ready to move on to yellow too. Yay!! That Dear Jane block with the tiny pinwheel in a circle - fantastic!!

Turid said...

Maybe I can jump in for some yellow blocks next month. Pink wasn't my colour.

Lots of pink happened here even if it wasn't "technically" RSC-oriented. I quilted and finished three predominantly pink quilts this month. I also made my pink blocks for Hoppipolla (a long term tiny rail fence-ish project and committed to another long term scrappy RSC project - I'll link both of them during February. Here's to playing with YELLOW scraps!

I've enjoyed watching your progress with the Dear Jane blocks - that is some complicated piecing! Pretty wall of pink, too. Thanks for hosting us every week!

Your blocks look really pretty all lined up, and that is a gorgeous green block. I keep saying I'm not a pink person, but I sure enjoyed sewing with it!

Your big wall of pink blocks is great. Love how much you got done. Yellow for the next month sound good. I can work on the yellow pinwheels. I prepare for yellow.

Susie H said...

Amazing pinks but I too am ready to move on to yellow (in spite of the fact that I didn't make all the blocks I wanted). Your Dear Jane is going to look amazing and I for one am looking forward to seeing the finished top.

Sarah said...

Lots of lovely pinkness to show for January. Great job!

Edith said...

Wow, you've been so busy with pink. I've enjoyed this month and don't feel like being finished with pink yet.

Bonnie said...

Pamela Arbour said...

Congratulations on your Dear Jane. I know you will be proud of it when it is complete. That's a lot of work. Mine is still waiting on me! LOL

Vivian said...

It must be truly atisfying to be right on the cusp of completing a Dear Jane! I'm blown away by all your January pinky production. My MIL and I were supposed to play along but didn't get to it.
Both of us are finishing up a quilt right now and look forward to playing catch up tomorrow as well as getting an early start on the February color.

Maggie said...

LOVE your Dear Jane. So glad I joined the RSC21 challenge. Finished pink blocks and Omygosh quilt got the jumpstart it needed, so a big Thank you to you for hosting the group. Technologies challenges did not deter me, even though they attempt to do so. What an amazing group of ladies participating!

Carissa said...

Thank you so much for hosting this! I've enjoyed joining in this month ans am ready to star in on some cheery yellow!

quiltingbydawn said...

Can't wait to see the whole quilt! The borders are fantastic! Yellow here we come!

JanineMarie said...

Those Dear Jane blocks look so fiddly, but so striking, too. What a treasure the quilt will be! Yay for yellow for February. I think we can all use a little more sunshine in our lives.

Oh I am swooning over all of your pinks on your design board. You have been very busy in January. I love your blog so much, Angela and am so thankful that I discovered it. I check in with you several times a week to see all that you are up to. Thank you for inspiring and for hosting the link parties so that I can discover other quilters. Have a lovely week.
