I always like January - I am full of energy from the Christmas break, I am ready to start new projects, and I haven't let the routine set back in . It seems every January I get a lot of RSC quilts done!!
So the first!!
My Second - was my Pink Diamonds - so fun to learn there are so many names for this block! I used 5 inch squares to make the 1/2 squares and 4 patches - and guess what.... My 5 inch Pink SQUARES were GONE!!!
I even had a chance to start sorting the sizes - hmmm - what will they become?
I was even able to get the top put together - make a back and!! It is on the Long arm Right Smack now!!
Then to finish up the pinks - I used all the scraps I had to make 25 Crumb blocks - I am not sure what they will be - but at least they aren't crumbs anymore!!

Angela threw the February Color out there -so I had a chance to dig in the crumb bin - here is the pile of Blues I will be working with. We have a bet as to how many crumb blocks this pile will make... I am sure that Bella's guess will be right - but I said 30 and K said 45
My sweet girl - She makes me laugh EVERY time!!
I think Pink Diamonds will become my 3rd Valentine Quilt - so that each kid gets one at some time in their lives. Not sure what I will do with Triad - and the crumbs... we will see..
Enjoy your day!!

Triad is really fun, it makes me think of Easter eggs. Pink Diamonds turned out beautifully. Each kiddo definitely needs a Valentine quilt. You did so well with using up your pinks. Good luck with the blue scraps.
You certainly made good use of your pink fabrics! Have fun with the blues.
Your pink palette is so vibrant! I mentioned earlier that I like the triad blocks, and as a quilt I like 'em even better.
The Triad quilt is lovely and I look forward to seeing what the crumbs evolve into. It's nice that you already know the RSC color for February to be able to start planning and organizing. And hooray for having a Valentine's quilt made for each of your kids.
Great January progress! I have several UFOs and PIGs that will fit with the blue theme. And that doesn't even include on-going QOV things.
Haha about the couch!! We have that discussion about the bed although it is more of a "I know you want to sleep here; but, I'm so comfy right now!!" Love your Pink Diamonds . . .how fun to make Valentine Quilt for each kid!
The pantograph you selected for Pink Diamonds is lovely. The combo of feathers, swirls and bubbles work well together. They give a soft, feminine feel to the quilt.
That was a LOT of PINK sewing, Alycia! Best of luck with BLUE, too. I'll be interested to see how many Crumb blocks those scraps will make. Pink Diamonds will make a lovely Valentine quilt for one of your kids!
Pink Diamonds is awesome!
You created so much beauty with pink! Love Pink Diamonds especially. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
