A couple of months ago I was sorting through my quilting fabrics and rearranging them when I noticed I have a lot of pink fabric. Perfect for some string piecing -- one of my favorite piecing methods.
I laid the fabric on the back of the sewing table and used son #2's papers he brings home on Fridays to cut some squares to piece on to. Every once in a while or in the evenings when I can only manage to sew a straight line, I stitched the blocks together.
Now I have a really pink baby quilt and a lot less pink fabric.
To contain all that crazy pink I'm going to border it in hot pink mitered strips about three inches wide. That should be enough.

I love this
Wow, this is just gorgeous. Beautiful colors!
Do you have a special place for quilting type sewing to be stored ? This is beautiful, I am so selfish wanting only stuff for me..... do I need help"?
Thanks!
I keep my quilting fabrics separate from my clothes fabrics but close at hand (some is in my chifferobe and some in a large bin)-- I like to use quilting cotton for skirt facings and bias strips sometimes. My quilting supplies are organized in with my other sewing supplies.
While I'll make quilts for other people (if I'm in the mood) I'm definitely selfish when it comes to clothes --I won't sew them for anyone else except maybe my husband and that's only if I want to. I don't see it as a problem!
Orange. You could edge it in orange, which Peter assures us is this year's "hot" fabric. This is a lovely quilt top, whether you edge it in pink or orange or baby-poop green.
Oh, orange! What a good idea. I even have some in the stash.
