pink blossoms

I cut for my pink projects and the rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy.

go fish 2 1/2, waffle stamp 1 1/2, easy breezy 1 1/2

I had enough blossom time strips already cut to make all the pink I would need, from when I started this quilt a few years ago. I did need to cut the HSTS and make more stems and leaves. And, now, I am out of any premade 4 patches for the corners going forward. Rhododendron trail mystery quilt had seriously decimated my pink scraps, so, it is a good thing I had these already in the box.




I canned 9 pints of ham chunks this week. The ham was a good sale price and my freezer is full.  I haven't done ham before and I was surprised how dark the water became after pressure canning.  I am already looking forward to ham and beans next winter.

    LOL, I think Bonnie Hunter projects are champs at helping us use up our scraps. I thought my blues and yellows were out of control, but now… not so much! Those tulip blocks are lovely - good thing you had pieces set aside!

    Love your tulips. They are so cute with the 4-patch. I am working on my MIL table runner which has the same block without the 4-patch. It makes such a difference. ;^)
