hearts blocks into a top-just add pink!

The pink keeps on getting used-this is all stash added to the blocks I won at our guild meeting on Tuesday night. It came out at 49 inches by 66 inches-I cut some of that pink swirl for binding before realizing I needed more for the side borders-I had to do some extra piecing to eke out enough of that fabric. That yardage is now reduced to a few pieces left in the scrap bag. I went over to the quilt shop to drop something off and check out the donated fabric. It was all non-cotton or non-suitable quilting fabric! Two large garbage bags worth-so it was disposed of to the proper place. I did pull backing for another donated pink! top - next up is sandwiching and pinning that tonight. I already prepped the backing to be the right length. I have some great pink ribbon backing fabric for the heart top. I am on track to have this heart top completely done by the next guild meeting in March-we meet the 4th Tuesday so I have plenty of time to finish it up by then.
I have variegated pink to red thread perfect for quilting it too. I am happy with how it turned out. It's amusing to think I had zero pink in my stash until 2005-the year I made my mom a pink quilt for use during chemo. Of course I had a bit left after making that quilt-then I needed a small amount for Alice's first quilt. Then, I needed enough pinks for my dil's quilt-in that collecting process I ended up with enough for two quilts with still some leftover yardage. I think I may be able to see the end of the pinks with one last quilt-it would be nice to play with some other colors. Hope you are feeling in the pink!
