aside from a few notable events of going to the beach (OCNJ) in October. (during the tail-end remnants of Nora. such is the life of a farming family...) and making 3 memory quilts for a friend, I don't have too much to show for RSC17 pink. but I'm still working on a last few blocks....
11 kona cotton solids blocks in pinks with the indigo. just the browns and tans to go, and then I can start putting this one together.
watermelon, azure, candy, bubble gum, azalea... those are some of the colors that quickly come to mind that make up this batch.
31 pink crumb blocks, too! (only 25 shown) when you've been doing the RSC as long as I have, word gets out that there is a crazy quilting lady who doesn't live too far away and will use all those ridiculous scraps. scraps come from far and wide-
and these pinks are no exception! a few of these pinks are mine (as in, leftover from another project, or fabric that I purchased) but the majority of these pinks are from a scrap bag from my LQS. how fun is that! and I'm not even done! there are still about 15+ pink blocks to piece, I'd guess.
they'll join a stack of crumb blocks that was, at last estimate, about 14" tall. wow! (2 years of piecing- RSC16 & RSC17 for the crumb blocks) when finished, I trim the crumb blocks at 6½" and they'll finish at 6".
looking forward to getting lots of these blocks into quilts. click over to Angela's on Saturday morning to see what everyone else is working on !

Good to know that I'm not the only crazy scrap quilting lady.
Jean in Iowa where it's getting colder.
So many wonderful blocks! I can't decide which I like better, the 16-patch in solids or the super scrappy crumb blocks. (How big are your crumb blocks?)
Your various pinks with indigo 16 patch blocks are so pretty! They are going to make a wonderful rainbow quilt.
Glad to hear that you were able to work in a bit of PINK sewing!! Hope you managed to have fun on vacation, in spite of dealing with the remnants of a storm.
