Pink Lemonade

 I am continuing to work on the piles that I have created. The next one I picked up was full of color, and I didn't have any notes as to what I had thought I would make from it... so!

I just had fun... Cut everything into 3 1/2 inch strips - and ta da!!


I made Rail Fence Blocks - 9 1/2 inch ones so the top went together SO fast!!



But!! There's More
I had more blocks left and so... 
Top #2!!





And then - there were a few left over blocks and Left over pieces - so I cut them into 3 1/2 x 9 1/2 picees and put together some crazy Nine patches... Mixed them with the Leftover rails and

Ta - da  Number 3!!


It was blowy and Snowy and cold outside, and my kids were home, and we were laughing... thinking that it was too cold to have a picnic - but these fabrics reminded us of Pink Lemonade.... and so..


That is their name.   And just to let you know Pink Lemonade ( the drink) heated up... Not a fan!! But we tried!!

That's a perfect name for those colors. I love a rail fence in it's simplicity. Haven't made any in a couple of years however. But I have a couple of jelly rolls that would make great rail fence quilts. Thanks for the inspiration!

The quilts do make me think of picnics and pink lemonade. 3 quilt tops and laughter; sounds like a really great way to start the year to me!

What a beautiful take on the Rail Fence quilt layout--the colors are yummy!

Pink Lemonade x 3! Fantastic! I guess a picnic on the floor would probably get an eye roll from your tall guys! But might be fun!

Kathleen said...

You made good work of that pile! It is like pink lemonade and so many versions of it. 3 tops is a lot!

Katie said...

Such pretty quilts - they're so summery, it makes me warmer just to look at them. And I love that you tried heating up the pink lemonade. This is something I would do and my hubby would just shake his head and walk away mumbling. This makes me happy that I am not, as my hubby would imply, the only crazy person out there!

Hi Alycia, that is a really sweet quilt!

Hot pink lemonade sounds terrible but these quilts are full of summery sweetness. I love them all!
