The Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2013 started the year with pink as the colour for January. I knew I had quite a bit of pink fabric in my scrap box even though I had used a lot of it as linings for the tea cosies I made earlier in the month. As I was also taking part in the Dare to Dresden blog hop I decided to use the dresden template to make a tumbler mini quilt for a prem baby.
The border pink is a very in your face pink but not as red as the photo suggests. The mini is backed with fleece and doesn't have any quilting on it as the hospital it is going to has asked for them made this way. All seams have been pressed open to reduce bulk.
I have enough tumblers cut out to make two more minis and these will be sewn up on Tuesday, my next date with my sewing machine.
Why not check out the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. The button is on the sidebar. (I can't get the button to work properly at the moment so I have taken it down and will re upload it later. meanwhile click here to go visit.)
This is such a sweet quilt. I wonder what next months colour will be?! :) See you there at the RSC2013!
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely. Quilting is something I have thought about learning. I've just conquered crochet, so there's nothing stopping me.
ReplyDeleteSoft pretty pinks in the middle, looks cozy.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet little quilt. Pink seems like the perfect color for it.
