2016 February Brown Pink Week 1 and Two Doll Quillts


The RSC color this month is brown with pink. I have four brown 16 patch blocks from last year so I made two brown and pink and two blue and purple 16 patch blocks to add to my collection.
A thirty-six patch block and a very scrappy pot holder made it into the picture. To see what others made with brown and pink go here Saturday morning.


This year I'm making a doll quilt each month in the RSC color. However I didn't feel inspired to make a brown doll quilt this month. So I went entirely colorful, fun and scrappy. It finished at 19" square.


This doll quilt is for my great grand daughter. It's made with scraps from a quilt I made and gave her parents when they married. This little doll quilt finished at 21" squares.

Oh what fun projects! And how precious is that doll quilt with leftovers from the parents' quilt. She will treasure that one for sure.

Happy that you managed to find a few browns. Great color choice on the doll quilt. Brown wouldn't have been nearly as happy.

A nice block collection and the doll quilts are a great idea. The special one with her dad and mom's fabrics will be an heirloom.
