Pink Peppermint quilt

Have you gotten your copy of the Better Homes & Gardens “Quilt Sampler” magazine? Well run, don't walk to your nearest Quilt shope & pick up a copy. There are some wonderful patterns in the shop hop issue, I want to make them all. Makes me want to take a road trip to visit all the darling shops that are featured.



I joined a swap on the Scrappy & Happy forum called Peppermint sticks. We each picked the color we wanted our sticks to be, then received 6 pieces of fabric measuring 3x6 from each person that signed up. Well anyone who knows me, knows I picked PINK! I received so many pretty pinks I just loved looking at them.

Back to the Quilt sampler Magazine, when I looked through the pages I came across this wonderful pattern by Karen L. Gray, called "Pave the Way",

I knew my pretty pink peppermint sticks would be perfect for this pattern.


What do you think? I just love it, It reminds me of summer, Picnics, & sherbet.





It goes so well with my new pink phone. A girl needs to be color coordinated.


Then of course my beautiful black cat Warwick looks great on pink.
Have a lovely day,
Rebecca

    I think I fixed the problem Mary with the comment. It seems it was hanging out the incomplete. See if you can leave a comment.

    Beautiful quilt, Rebecca. I just picked up this magazine yesterday and when I saw this pattern I thought of our "stick swap" and was wondering if they would work for this pattern. Now I know! Thanks. Your pinks look perfect ... enjoy! :) Pat
