Pink, pink, pink! Who knew that playing with pink would be so much fun?
Our local quilt guild has a tradition of exchanging 6" squares. If we travel somewhere and visit any quilt shops, then we share a 6" square of fabric that we've purchased that reflects the location. We have a smallish guild so it's not a huge investment as a yard and half is more than enough. I've made several quilts over the years with those squares. but the first one I did was a star block using the 6" square in the center. It's queen size and in one of our extra bedrooms.
But there are lots and lots of squares in the project box, along with a few star blocks that I made last year. And I see plenty more pink squares to play with.
I played with lots of strings early this week. These are 9.5" square, and are hanging with more of them from 2024. If I counted correctly there are 24 now.
Some smaller string blocks happened as well. There are more than 40 of the String Bead blocks, so they might end up making 2 or 3 quilts eventually.
And I spent some time looking through the closet and bins to see what other pink UFOs might be hanging around. One bag held this "woven heart" block and the fabric to make more. I have no clue what the original plan was, but now my plan is to make a baby quilt.
The parts are now all cut for 5 more blocks. These blocks are 15" square, so I think 6 blocks plus some sashing and cornerstones will make a decent baby quilt.

That's a fun tradition: to give squares to the guild members. You must have some pretty interesting prints in that box. Love the string blocks. I need to get working on one of those for me. Enjoy! ;^)
a lot of variety of pink blocks on your table.
So many pretty pinks to play with. I love the star points around that first 6 inch square. Such a fun idea to celebrate where everyone has been.
Your travel souvenirs are such a great way to acquire a variety of interesting prints. The pinks are wonderful.
You are off to a great start on the RSC 2025 blocks. Loving the string blocks!
