Purple Coin Block

On Saturdays, I have started joining in with the linky party at the RSC

 

on the So Scrappy blog.

 

There are some wonderful scrappy projects posted in the links today!

 

I made Pink Coin Blocks last month for my 2013 RSC quilt.  My tutorial for this block may be found HERE or on My Tutorials at the top of the page.

 

 

Here are my purple and white scraps cut and organized for my blocks.

 

 

I got three blocks made today before I had to turn off my sewing machine for awhile.  I have some more purple scraps and plan to sew more again next Saturday.

 

Hope to get back to my sewing machine tonight.

 

For now, have a happy, scrappy day!

Scrappy Pink Heart Block

Scrappy Pink Heart Block

 

Today was a busier day, so I did not get to play on

my sewing machine until after dinner. 

 

Since I have been joining in the

Rainbow Scrap Challenge at So Scrappy 

on Saturdays, I decided to sew pink.

 

Since Valentine's Day is coming and I do not have a table topper for this holiday, it seemed like a good time to turn some of my pink scrap fabrics into a holiday project.

 

16 patch heart block

 

This is my pattern ... a pink post-it note stuck to my machine. After I started sewing I actually went a little more scrappy and put some pink HSTs inside the heart with my scraps.

The basic pattern calls for:

8 HST of pink and white to form the heart

2 white squares on the bottom outside corners

6 pink squares

You can make the block in any size.  I decided to make a block that will finish at 16 inches square.

So I cut:

8 white 5" squares
8 pink 5" squares
2 white 4.5 inch squares
6 inch 5" pink squares  (OR ... a few 4.5 inch pink squares
                                       and a few pink 5 squares (to make HSTs),
                                       as shown in my block)

To sew:

 

pair the 8 white and 8 pink squares; draw lines for your HST

chain sew

 

cut in half

press toward pink

trim and square to 4.5"

 

(Note:  if you are adding pink HST pairs, make these in the same manner)

 



layout block

sew in pairs and then into four quarter block units

 

sew into halves

your block is done!

 

May you have a Happy Heart!

Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2013

January - In The Pink

For the last few months, I have been following the Rainbow Scrap Challenge at So Scrappy Blog and every week I have thought about joining in and another Saturday goes by and my scraps are still piling up.

So for 2013 I have decided I am going to stop thinking and start sewing.

Sew before the day is over ...

 I sewed!

These blocks are destined for a Scrap Quilt that I started last summer with the intention of making it a leader and ender project.  Somewhere along the way of packing and moving stuff into my new sewing room, the bag with these scrap fabrics got tucked int a closet and forgotten. 

Now I have made some good progress on the pink units for the ten pink blocks in this quilt. 

Next Saturday I plan to sew more units together.
