In the pink

Since my post on Monday, I've made some progress on the blocks I've been piecing using only solids (can you hear me cheering?! lol ).  This will be just one of the projects I'm tackling for Sew into Solids.   I've decided to make quilted cushion covers from these new blocks.  It seems perfect timing to add something "spring-ish" in colour to the living room.  Especially as it's snowing as if it's the middle of winter, at the moment.

I'm "in the pink" over the success I feel with these blocks rather than

 "feeling blue" with disappointment having fabric ordered for my quilt seemingly disappear in the postal system.  I'm ever hopeful that those lovely blue fabrics will still find their way to me.  Anyways, take a look at what I came up with using a range of pink solids....

Wow.  To think it started with a few free cut blocks like this,

and this one.

I decided that I would cut those blocks up a bit and rearrange their pieces.  That's how Block #1 came into being and with the leftovers and another round of piecing,  I came up with Block #2 ( shown below).  I really like the randomness of these blocks.  Oh, and the colour.  Boy, do I like the warmth all the pinks combined exude.     Has me wondering why I never ventured into sewing with solids on their own before....
