Red and Pink
My sewing room is full of red and pink scraps today.
The red scraps are for Blockapalooza day for the 70273 Project. To read my blog post from yesterday for more information, click here.
As project captain Jeanne says: "a big Thank You to y'all for helping us remind and/or convince the world that Every life has value. Every. Single. Life."
I'm turning my red scraps into a "Middling" for the 70,273 project. What's a "Middling" you ask? It's a miniature quilt measuring 18" x 22". I only have two blocks started so far.
The pink blocks are part of my Alamo Star collection that I have been working on for 5 years. Yoday I am sewing the pink stars together into 4 patch blocks.

The Alamo Stars are so cute. I'm really looking forward to seeing that quilt come together. Have fun with your mini project today.
Glad the your Alamo stars are starting to come together. They have been coming along for so long now.
Those are so cute and tiny!
I'll be joining you in making 70273 blocks. Not sure how many I'll be able to make, it will depend on how much white fabric I have left. We'll see if I have enough blocks to make a Middling. We'll quilt together, sort of.
Thank you for letting us know about the 70273 project. I had never heard of it before, but now have joined the Facebook group and planning to make a block today, too!
Those Alamo Stars are adorable!
You know I love the Alamo Stars!
Yesterday's post inspired me to get going on my blocks for the 70273 project. They probably won't happen until late October, but they are definitely going to happen! Thanks for the nudge.
Thanks for telling about the xx project.. we must never forget. Your pink stars are so cheerful and bright.
I remember the Alamo stars!
I forgot about the 70273 project. I might have to make a Middling and some blocks.
It's good to see the Alamo Stars again! They will make an amazing quilt when all pieced together!
I adore your Alamo stars, and have been enjoying seeing them each time you bring them out to play. Looking forward to what comes next!
Thanks for the 70273 reminder. Never again.
I got so distracted by the 70,273 project I've had to come back to see what you've been doing! I seem to think I read about the project shortly after its' inception (possibly here). Don't think I ever acted however, and it's a cause I wholeheartedly support. Will be stitching red X's very soon. Thanks for the head's up!
Wonderful bright and dark PINK additions to your Alamo Star collection!!
