I had a tight deadline to get the pink quilt done by Saturday and then it got even tighter. I ended up not being able to go to the baby shower, so I had to finish it sooner to drop it off to the organizer.

| Groovy pink baby quilt |
Pedal to the metal. Got it done on Wednesday evening and still got my report cards done by Friday. What a week!

| Perfect backing! |
I used up nearly all the groovy pink strips from the Greenville trip, lots of random pink, and some purple. For the backing/binding I used nearly all the magenta that has been in the stash forever because it bleeds so badly. It was perfect for this project, so I washed it three times until the wash water ran clean.
Long, long week and then came Friday. It was rainy so we had rainy day recess on a Friday that was also the last day of the quarter and the start of a 3-day weekend for the students and the end of a full moon week. I left school as quickly as I could and made a stop at my favorite thrift store as a consolation prize!
Who knew a small bag could hold 600 squares?
Didn't find what I was looking for, but I did find a bag of precut 2" squares. I am trying so hard to use up what I have, so I hesitated. Then I realized that was a lot of neutrals that I could combine with the overflowing 2" strip drawer which is low on neutrals and get things used up faster. I counted when I got home. $2 for approximately 600 squares/1.67 yards. It's worth it just for the labor of not cutting that many squares!
