Pink Lemonade

Beena Named this quilt for me when I just had the blocks. Pink Lemonade! Thank you! I did not like this quilt as I was making it. Oh I liked the individual blocks but I thought they were so blah on the design wall. I missed them with a charm pack, and other 5" blocks and just couldn't get inspired. When I added these borders I fell in love with it. There was contrast! Pink Lemonade it became. Beena nailed it and put me in mind of the green leaf fabric I had. I am thinking of just putting a pale yellow flannel on the back to quilt this with no batting ( since I have no batting in the house and a pile of flimsy tops yelling at me to finish) As a light weight summer throw I don't really want it to be too heavy.
As soon as I finished that one I was looking at Bonnies Quiltville.com and so started playing with crumbs. I never thought of chaining them.

Chaining the crumbs really makes it go so much faster.



Here is my mess and some crumbs chained together. I keep my iron right next to my machine and press right away.



Something totally off topic, I belong to paperbackswap.com and just received a new Stephen King book. Duma key. I did not even know he had written another book.
