(Truth be told...I am aiming for a hat trick by the end of the month!) This is my second finish...the Pink Lemonade quilt along by Lori at Humble Quilts.
This quilt is not as big as it seems to be on the computer screen. I made my churn dash blocks 2 1/4" (finished), so the quilt finishes at about 10" x 13", and is as cute as a button (and we quilters know just how cute buttons can be!)Somehow the "lemonade"(yellow) pieces fell out of my version of the quilt, and I don't know why, but they were replaced with more of a cosmopolitan (red) essence!
I used up a lot of scraps on this one. You hopefully can't tell, but some of the red squares were pieced from smaller scraps, and some of the half blocks were really using up the tiny bits so they don't have the same pinks within the blocks.
Thanks again to Lori for a fun quilt along and a great little quilt!

What a sweet quilt and I would never have guessed it was that small!
I see you used pinks but not the cheddars so many (including me) are using. Nice!
Very pretty. I like all the reds and pinks.
I love your little quilt. It looks perfect for Valentine decor, too. I just finished piecing my top today--wish mine was all quilted--your quilting looks great. Seriously--no lines drawn? Looks too good!
great little quilt~
Nice! I'm still working on the Half blocks. Too many other projects for grandchildren's Birthdays taking my time away.
Darling! The quilting looks just right for this even smaller doll quilt. Congrats :)
Gorgeous Kathy! xo

Your pink lemonade quilt is beautiful! Well done!
So cute! I love your version.
Wow! you did a great job with such small blocks! Isn't it amazing that you can create a very different look by just changing one of the colours! Very nicely done!!!!
You are definitely on a roll! Congratulations! Adorable little quilt. Glad you were able to use up so many scraps.
Love your little version of this quilt. :)
Love your lemonade quilt! I'm enjoying blog hopping around to see what everyone's quilt looks like.
The smaller the better! I don't think I could have done the math to make it smaller ha! I do love your bold little doll quilt! It looks great and sweetly home made!
