| Pink Heart Quilt Blocks |
I
inherited a few heart blocks from a friend and decided that I would expand the
collection into a rainbow of hearts so that I could participate in the RainbowScrap Challenge 2013 with them.

| Scrap Management |
Last
Saturday for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge I was impressed with Sheila's blog
post at Sew Cook and Travel who as well as making some lovely pink blocks also
cut some pink tumblers, so I decided to do some scrap management as
well, and cut a few strips, some large and small tumblers, and a square for
future scrap projects that I have in mind.
Take
a minute to be inspired; drop by Soscrappy to see what others have done with
pink this week, the number of participants has grown since last year.
The
term cardiac means "related to the heart" and comes from the Greek
kardia, for "heart".

Your pink heart blocks are sweet. The scrap management is a great idea. I am sure they will be put to good use someday.
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela, I just realize that the hearts are looking a bit dark in the photo, they are really a bright pink, I was in a hurry to post as we were on our way out to my husbands company Christmas party.
DeleteVery pretty heart blocks. I like the idea of scrap management. Might go and do some management myself!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah, I just started scrap management this year first cutting strips and already I have been able to use them!
DeleteCute pink heart blocks - you will have a finished project in no time! I'm a big fan of scrap management. It really helps keep the creativity going!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie, yes the scrap management does keep the creativity going, I can just peek at my strips first before looking for new fabric to cut, it's working.
DeleteWhat fun heart blocks! They will make a very sweet quilt when you are finished :*) I'm cutting the remainders into useful sizes too - just makes sense, right?
ReplyDeleteThanks Terea, my daughter saw the hearts and claimed the quilt already.
DeleteBeautiful blocks and scrap management is always fun....down to the last little piece!
ReplyDeleteThanks Connie, so far I'm cutting strips, tumblers and squares, I might want to find a small shape or square as well, 'cause I have a whole drawer full of little bits.
DeleteI like your little hearts and tumblers. I am going to be more diligent this year in the scrap management area and hope to have more scrap quilts to show for it. I am enjoying seeing what everyone is doing.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the little hearts, this is my year to try and manage those scraps, after reading about this on other blogs.
DeleteLove love super love these blocks Edith..great idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy, so does my daughter, she thinks it's her quilt.
DeleteHeart blocks (and fabrics) are my favorite. My scraps are unruly and don't ever want to be managed! Good luck with yours!
ReplyDeleteCathy, I don't know that I've ever done hearts in blocks before, they are kinda sweet. Your scraps sound like fun!
DeleteGreat little hearts. Yes good to do some scrap management.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy, I'm enjoying the beginning of scrap management.
DeleteWhat sweet little heart blocks.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words and giving my blog a shout. I look forward to seeing your collection of tumblers, square and strips grow.
Thanks Sheila, glad you like the hearts. A BIG THANK YOU to you for the scrap management visual, it's working for me.
