September 's Monthly Mini

 Pink isn't one of my

favorite colors, 

but  occasionally, 

I'm Tickled Pink to use it.

September's Mini Quilt

You might remember from my last post

the BOM I finished.

Each month I received the fabric in the mail

for another border or for the appliques.

Homestead Hearth was very generous in

the amount of fabric they included.

So I had lots of the pinks leftover

from the appliqued flowers.

Those fabric scraps had sat on my

sewing table for a very long time and 

now it was time to use them or loose them!

I wasn't sure what the plan 

should be, but then I 

remembered some of the fun patterns

I had from Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.

This is a Carrie Nelson's snippet pattern

called X-Rated.

The pieces are sewn with a diagonal layout

so it takes up quite a bit of space on my design floor.

The good part is there was very little

of the pink fabrics left!

I machine quilted around each of the X's.

I quilted half of an X and then went on to

the next one.  When I got to the end of the 

row I turned around and did the other half.  

You can see where I travelled

from one X to another.

It's good to keep some things simple

when you life can fill up with

other more complicated things.

I hope you've recently had some 

tickled pink moments.

Be sure to take a look at 

some of the monthly mini's organized

by Wendy

You might be tickled pink

by what you see!

Until Next Time-
