Playing with Pink

I just had a long weekend with nothing on the calendar to take me from home.  That meant lots of time to sew!  I decided I wanted to work on something mindless and easy.  Something that I didn't have to pay attention to details and could just enjoy the rhythm of the machine.  I had just the project in mind.

I started by pulling a bunch of pinks from my stash.
  
I just love the pile of trimmings you get after squaring blocks down. 


And here is the final quilt!  
 I saw this project tutorial on the Dear Stella blog.    Its super fast to put together.   And if you used a layer cake, it'd be even quicker.  I think it will make a fun baby girl quilt...with the baby's name and birth date embroidered on the heart.  :)

That is a sweet idea for a baby quilt - to embroider. Or perhaps someone's anniversary? Glad to see you had fun sewing this long weekend! Thanks so much for sharing at Sew Fresh Quilts!

Super! Love pinks - never tire of seeing them and always amazed there's still some pink fabric out there not in my stash :)
