Pink!

I finished the tilted squares quilt top over the weekend, but it has been sitting untouched for the past couple of days because I can't decide how I am going to quilt it. Since it's all straight lines and angles I was thinking that curved quilting would look best, but I'm afraid that might be too ambitious for me. I haven't decided to rule it out yet though - I'm planning on sketching a few ideas before I make my final decision. I just have to get around to doing it!

I had mentioned previously that I had very little fabric left over from this quilt. In fact, I have to go back to the quilt shop to get fabric for the binding. I did, however, have just enough pink scraps to put together this block:


I made it for Quilt Pink, an event where quilt shops from across the country will be making quilts to auction off to benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. My local quilt shop is collecting blocks this month and a group of volunteers will get together on September. 30 to piece them all together into quilt tops. Since September 30 is my son's first birthday I will not be attending the event, but I'm still sending in my block. If you're a quilter, you should check your local shop to see if they are also participating. It's such a simple thing to do and a great cause.
