The Pink Kitchen Quilt

Lovely orangey-pinks with a green backing.
This is the second quilt I started—and I just finished it this week! It had some problems and I put it in “time out” for many years. My inspiration was my grandmother’s kitchen (Pepto-Bismol pink!) and I’m happy to say that my sister is giving it a home. (Pink, even with an orange tint, is not my color.)

The entire top.
This is a trip-around-the-world quilt, with a sort of Irish chain layout. Lovely, easy to do as long as you get the fabrics right. It is small; only 40 inches per side. Just enough for decoration.

Basic quilting.
I finished it just in time for her birthday, but I’ll have to sew the label on when I visit later this month!

  1. Great gradations of color! I don't think I've ever seen you with so much pink though! :)
