There were about 40+ blocks already made and ready to put together. My first thought was, "I hate this pink! Why would she use pink!" However, the more I looked and arranged and re-arranged, the more I began to see the possibilities, so I sewed them together into a top. Then I looked farther down in the sack, and found some blue that would look OK as a border, and more of the pink. I don't know how old this fabric is, but the pink yardage was only 36" across and I haven't seen that in quite awhile. Anyway, here is the top. It is on my frame now and being quilted with loops and butterflies! I'm beginning to like it just a bit...
