String along with me

How much fun can one possibly have with pink string blocks? I love sewing them together and then opening up and pressing. Each one is a tiny gift. And just to keep it even more interesting, I have done a few yellow string blocks. True confessions working with yellow is my favourite of all colours.

What is my plan for using these? Not a clue at this point. Slice them in half diagonally and treating them like these Roll Roll Cotton Boll alternate blocks? I am open to suggestions...Or perhaps it is just to early to tell?

And I do love the these 16 patch centred Sawtooth Stars. It was fun to gather up the 2" pink squares and get them into this exciting block. These are really coming together quite beautifully...LOVE THEM.

And this new RSC15 block is sew pretty. I made the choice to make 4.5" string block centre, and I so glad that I did.
To catch up on other pink loveliness from around the planet, check out the SoScrappy pinky-linky party.
love and hugs
