Hellos sweet friends! I'm running a little late today with Podunk Pickin's. For some reason I thought today was Saturday. OOOPS! My distraction was
1652 pink 2 x 2 squares. Scraps! I'll be linking up today's post at Quilting is more fun than Housework for the week OH SCRAP Linky party.
If I counted correctly there's about 50 different prints. The plan is to clear out those scrap bins by making a scrap quilt of each color. Well after cutting all of these I still have enough pink for a couple more quilts. Not sure I'll be able to keep up with this bright idea.
The pattern is a basic Irish chain quilt. Here's the layout and my cutting notes. It took a day and half to cut the pink, the butter background shouldn't take nearly as long.
Now let's get to Podunk Pickin's link up.

ReplyDeleteWhen I get my scraps cut, I'll try sorting like that. Love the pink and yellow plan.
ReplyDeleteyou certainly have a challenge on here but ty least the worst part (to me) is the cutting, very small squares but it will look amazing when complete
ReplyDeleteI love the pink and yellow plan, too! 50 different pinks?? That's impressive... and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh that is going to be SO SWEET! I love the Irish chain pattern, and I love your pink scraps. lol. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteGosh your fabrics and your pattern are so lovely. I tried counting the eit bitty tiny Suarez to figure out the size of the quilt but my eyes just can't do it.
ReplyDeleteSo short cut is to ask you what your size your finished quilt will be ?
Also how are you putting it together ?
By rows?
Blocks ?
So lovely
