Pink is the new….

Another Pink themed Paper Piecing Monday…

Today’s block is the last one for my baby quilt. It is another EQ inspired block that I turned into a paper pieced pattern. You can find the free PDF pattern for this 12 inch block here…Pinwheel Snowball

Now that I have completed four of these blocks, I have been playing with the layout for the baby quilt. For the first time I had a plan for my paper piecing Monday blocks before I started making them…

I knew I wanted to make the most of the scrappy black and white background fabric so I cut a stack of 6 1/2 inch square blocks from my b/w stash and started playing with the layout.

I have a bit more rearranging to do with the blocks, but I am close to being happy with the layout. My hope is to have the top done by Friday…weather permitting!

I love that black and white pineapple print — any recollection of where it is from?

I am sorry I do not have selvage information left on my piece of pineapples. I know I bought it from Fabric.com about a year ago if that helps.

These are so pretty together!! I love the pink on the grey, it makes such a pretty quilt.

What a beautiful grouping. The B&W prints are really going to let the pink stars shine!

“My black and white stash”… Now I know what I am missing: a themed stash. Guess I need to go shopping (the 10 tubs of fabric groan at that). Love the baby quilt layout. The zebra fabric is extra cute.

I was looking for black and white cow fabric and all I could find was the zebras…but they work perfectly.

Hmm, you’ve reminded me my black & white stash is rather low… I need to go shopping! Love the layout, I think the contrast is great and the combination is sweet for a little girl’s quilt.
