After my trip, I had to finish up a baby quilt that I had been working on for one of my daughter's friends. After three boys, she is finally having a girl, so I wanted to make something for her that was very pink.
I wanted to use fabrics from my stash because I thought that I had a lot of pinks. But when I actually looked at my fabrics, not all of the pinks went together very well.
I found a layer cake (10" squares) that had some pink butterflies and gingham check in it so I make a lot of the blocks from that.
I decided on half square triangles and I just love how it turned out.
The pinks have a bit of a salmon color to them and I did find some prints in my stash that coordinated well. She loved the quilt. I quilted some flowers and swirls in it to make it look very girly.
When I got back from my trip, I had to have the quilt ready just a few days after my trip. I wasn't thinking about how tired I would be from the jet lag. Ha ha - I need to work on my time management a bit more. But I did get it done!
I loved working with the half square triangles and now I would love to make more quilts from my stash. But I might need to buy more pink fabric for some new projects ideas. :)
