Bubble Gum Pink

Bubble Gum Pink
What do you make with bright pink fabric?


A cute bubble gum pink baby quilt, that's what. 


Stripes, checks, dots, woodgrain and marbled prints look great together. I added a pale pink background with splash of yellow for contrast. Using kite blocks, I created a spinning pattern framed with polka dot sashing.


Simple 2” grid quilting is the perfect choice, using the palest of pink thread with a straight stitch. I used a ruler with my walking foot to stay aligned. Bubble Gum Pink finished at 45” square. This one's quick and easy to sew. 


Plans for this hot week: hide in my sewing room!
