The First Pink Corner Block
As part of my journey with breast cancer treatment, I decided to make the four corner blocks of Roseville in pinks. Now I just have to find a way to make them blend with the house panel and subsequent blocks. Repeating the turquoise shot cotton is a step in that direction. This block went so much faster than the house panel, and I loved every stitch!

Marion, I think your pink corner block blends wonderfully since you have a beautiful pastel house. Very soft and inviting! Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING work, Marion!!! The blocks look TERRIFIC together. : ) The softer palette is really quite nice! Quilting IS the best therapy! You go...errr, SEW!!! Hugs and prayers and + juju are being sent your way, Marion!
ReplyDeleteWonderful job. Keep up the good work and I appreciate you sharing your progress.

Love the pinks, just carry some of those colors into the rest of the quilt, it will all blend. Best wishes to you as you recover
ReplyDeleteI think that your blocks blend just perfectly together,I just love the polkadot background fabric, I'm having so much fun using it also. I'm so glad that we have this wonderful place to share our work.
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job of making the block pink, and having it look harmonious with the house panel.

That is the best reason to add some pinks to your blocks! Best wishes on both your applique and treatment journeys.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look great together. Making the corners in pink is a wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great and beautiful idea!! I think repeating the turquoise cotton will do the trick to pull it all together. These two look great. All the best in your treatment and sewing!!
ReplyDeleteso beautiful
ReplyDeleteIt's stunning Marion! I'm so excited to see it. It blends perfectly--you're right about that shot cotton. It makes a big difference. Great birds! And you get to be the opener of the blog for 13 hours so far--I lasted 13 minutes! Well done.

Great idea using pink in the 4 corners. If you look at Kim's Basket Medallion quilt she has put red in the 4 corners and it really pops. As long as you use pink thru out the quilt your corners will pop and all will blend and turn out beautiful. Keep sewing and wishing you healthy recovery.
ReplyDeleteThe pink and aqua look stunning together. I wish you a triumphant recovery!
ReplyDeleteMarion so pretty, I wish you lots of luck with your treatment. I love pink too!!!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful Marion, I love the pink. I too wish you all the best with your treatment. So lovely that you can create this beautiful quilt while you are recovering. I think the four pink corners will look fantastic. xo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Marion, love the pinks. I think it will go really well with your panel! Hope your treatments are working well. This is a really good project for you to be working on. In the years to come, it will become a sort od diary for you to look back on. Keep up the good work, Kim McL
