Pink Colorblocks

I've made eight pink colorblocks for the Summer Block Swap. I cut all my strips and then laid out the block arrangements. Then it was just string pieced. I took Margaret's advice and didn't press them until they were completely sewn. Then I sprayed on Mary Ellen's Best Press (I like the scent free one the best!) to make them nice and flat before trimming them to size. My new quilting gadget is this 6 1/2" square ruler by Omnigrid. It's great for truing up all these blocks. Nothing worse than receiving blocks of various sizes in a swap. Back to work now, just 32 more blocks to make.

I love those blocks! Such great fabrics. I'm using that same block to make a top of batik flannels. And aren't rulers the best? I used to always wish I had the right one and then finally buy it *after* I'd finished the project. Finally figured out I should buy it when I need it...duh!
