September 's Monthly Mini

 Pink isn't one of my
favorite colors, 
but  occasionally, 
I'm Tickled Pink to use it.


Tickled Pink
31" x 31"

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
You might be tickled pink
by what you see!

Until Next Time-
Kyle

  13. Pink is my favorite color for my everyday house; I have pink roses and quilts everywhere. I think your quilt is adorable, and the way you quilted saved lots of tying off, didn't it? Looks great to me. ---"Love"

  15. I love the amount of fabric that are always in a kit when I buy it in America. When I buy a kit in Holland and I make one mistake I have a problem because there is no extra fabric.......
    Your mini is sweet.

  16. I adore pink! It always makes me smile and is such a sweet color.
    I love the design of your little quilt. The pieced border is simple but perfection
    The machine quilting is just right.
    This will be sweet for valentines day or any day.
