Messy House Catch up 5

 

Back after a great 4 weeks away and back in my sewing room, I first finished off some yellow scrap pieces from April.

My first time making this pineapple block. I had a number of yellow squares and thought they were perfect for a yellow pineapple. I had 4 left over half sq. triangles with striped fabric so decided to use them in corners. Big mistake.

The stripes on the diagonal really did my head in and jack and I unpicked the four striped triangles and replaced them.

I still have to finish the yellow heart.

The last few days of this month, May, I pulled out my pink scraps. I didn't make a lot, but made a couple of coasters, 

and worked on a pink Modern Triangle block.

Having enough blocks now to make the quilt I placed them on the design wall.

I wasn't happy with the colour placement, and that was when I noticed the orange was the wrong direction - actually, the orange is correct, all the others are incorrect 😊. So now I'm going to make a green one to replace the orange, and maybe put the orange in the centre. Watch this space! I have a few pink heart blocks to finish.

That's it for this week. The new colour for June is blue, and fortunately I already have my blue fabrics out to make Moda Block Heads 5 group 2.
