This month at soscrappy the color is Pink! Like Pink Panther. Pinker than Pepto Bismol. Tasty pink like cotton candy. Sweet pink like strawberry ice cream. Christmas pink like Sweetie at Christmas.
Yikes! I thought...I don't have much pink fabric. What am I to do? (Wringing hands). I'd better go look at the dismal amount of pink I have.
Whoa doggie! That's a lot of pink. Bright pink! Dark pink! Flowery pink! Pastel pink! Let's not go overboard, I think you know what I mean...This month is brights and darks. Save the pastels for later, she (the creative mind behind Rainbow Scrap Challenge) said.
There I am, in pink heaven, picking out the brights and darks. Omigosh! The stack is growing and growing and growing... 21 chosen. Eek! All in one month????? Am I crrrr-aaaa-zzzy, or what? (Do NOT answer)
Thank goodness I chose an easy block, the Snowball. Here's the pinks I've picked.
In the drawer picture, you can see some pinks tied together with a fabric strip. Those are the ones for pastel pink!
I'm counting the pinks I've chosen. One, two, three...six...ten...thirteen! Shut the door! Isn't that an unlucky number? Truth be told, that is my husband's favorite number. This coming from a guy whose favorite color is black. You can see why I married this guy...he's interesting!
Must....add....one....more....pink the little voice in my head said.
More math! Wahoo! 14 fabrics divided by 3 weeks left in February equals 4.666666666. I need to make roughly 4 and a half blocks per week to get all the colors in. Can do! Another reason I chose snowballs.
See you next week! Have a pinkety pinkest pinky week!

I'm having pink envy. Pink is a colour I don't work with very much and I'm scrapping the bottom of the barrel to find fabrics for the sampler blocks.
ReplyDeleteMe too! Me too! I just don't use that much pink...Maybe you'll need to go scrap hunting in a friend's scrap bin!
DeleteAgreed. Pink is just not a colour I have lots of. Now blue and green aren't a challenge but pink sure is.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have lots and lots of blue! Last month was better because I had so much to choose from. But I can't complain, I did have more pink than I thought! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteYour pinks are gorgeous. I don't have many either but I might stash build shop for some pinks. I think I might have the wrong idea for the RSC!!
ReplyDeleteLove love love all your pinks! So many fun fabrics to work into your blocks. 4.66666' sounds like a doable number. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYou've chosen some pretty fabrics. I like the white flowers with pink hearts in the bottom row.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty pink fabrics! I'm going to enjoy watching them become pretty blocks this month.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pinky week to you, too!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Your pinks look lovely, I made a pink quilt in 2013 :http://adventurousquilter.blogspot.com/2014/01/emmas-quilt.html
ReplyDeleteand I am so sick of seeing pink because it was a 16 week QAL that took me more like 30 weeks to finish LOL so I may not sew again with pink anytime soon. But I look forward to seeing your creations :)
I can identify with getting sick of a certain color. You have to take a vacation from it after a while! I looked at your lovely pink quilt. It is marvelous.
