I am continuing the cow series for my RSC2015 (click here) and thankfully the color this month is pink.
I like pink.
I like cows.
I now like pink cows! But when you pull out little scraps of florals they don't always look like they will in the finished project, for instance the sides of my girl's face are a bit mauve. I thought, what if I put a little heart ornament on her forehead??
It's not permanent, just sticking there for a picture. I will likely remove it but still...kind of like it.
She seems to require long eyelashes as well.
In the quilting I think.
Here she is with Blue cow. Adorable. I kind of imagine them with the sashing, very Warhol-like.
You can't tell from there but her mouth is little heart fabric.
All from the pink scrap bin and white scrap bin.
The pattern was as challenging as I remembered. See the post on Blue cow(click here) for the pattern source.

I like the heart. Keep it! Gives her a little bling to go with her to-be-quilted eyelashes. :) www.quiltartbymegan.com
First, I fell in love with this year's Valentine - so beautiful. Now it's with the pink cow - so cute! Yes, she needs some eyelashes. Thanks for linking to WIPs Be Gone - so in love with your eye candy,LeeAnna.
I love the cows, very cute.
And she needs some earrings too! Can never have enough bling, even if you're a cow!
No sashing, just cows . . . and I like her better without the heart on her forehead.
Strawberry and Blueberry? They're adorable! And I would save the bling for the quilting. She's cute enough already!
I'm a pink girl as well.. So I love the pink cow!
I like your pink cow and her pretty lips too!
I like the Warhol look. Keep going with it.
I like the pink cow, too! Are you going to have a different colored cow each month? That's a very cool challenge! What a great way to use up scraps!
Moo!
Hi LeeAnna!
Pink Cow Perfect! Looks just so beautiful!
The best group of cows I have ever seen!
Take care,
Joanne
Oh, they do channel Warhol! Clever you.
I really love your cows!
what a great idea for the scrap challenge! and yes I agree with pugmom - a pink cow has to have some bling - great job :-)
OMG - your cows are so wonderful!!!! I can't wait to see the progress all year with these beautiful bovines!!!!!!!
Definitely, long quilted lush eyelashes!
Love 'em.
Diane
I think the cows are great and the heart is perfect!
They are adorable!
Me too!! WOn't these make a fun quilt!
What fun!! Are cows the new "foxes" in the quilting world? I'm seeing them pop up more frequently recently!!
Love those cows! They are great.
Just love your cow gals--they are very moo-ving!1 Hahaha...Seriously, they are just adorable. My DH thinks cows are funny --I should make him a cow quilt...hugs, Julierose
Love 'em both... although I'm more partial to pink. She is definitely pretty in pink... (How about earrings? Farmers use ear tags now, so earrings aren't so far fetched.)
Hugs
Rainbow coloured cows on parade! The blue and pink make such a cute couple.
Oh, how cute!
Those cows are so darling! I am looking forward to seeing your rainbow of cows! So much fun!
I like the heart. Maybe a snowflake with blue and a shamrock with green =)
Love the pink cow! Can't wait for a purple one. ;- )
Definitely long lashes; I don't think she needs the heart on her forehead.
Leeanna these cows are absolutely wonderful!!! Can't wait to see your collection at the end of the year.
Oh my goodness. So amazingly adorable -- I can't stand it!
Oh so cute. They make me smile.
Love this!
Carol
Wonderful!
How fun! Absolutely love this block. It's going to be a quilt with lots of whimsy.
So fun... just love these gals!
Wow, your cows are great!
Adorable cows... What fun! Love the heart.
those girls are adorable!
I am looking forward to the end of the year and you have to steer the cow herd into a quilt.
Darling.
Ms Pink Cow is so pretty. Definitely big eyelashes please.
Darling!!! And yes, I can see some long lashes on pink cow, too.
I love the idea of earrings on her and blinging eyelashes!
What a lovely pink cow. Hoping there are more color cows on the way...
Tha's super cute!
This cow is so cute. Is the pattern available?
She is one pretty lady. More extrovert than her blue friend, I think. But they sure make a lovely pair!
Leeanna, So Cute!! I like in a dairy producing area, and cows are big here. I love your progress.
Julie
I love your cows in pink and blue. They have such wonderful personalities or should that be cowalities. Thank you sew very much for linking...
Yes! Those are such pretty cow blocks, LeeAnna! Love the pink daisies you used for the strip down the middle of her nose. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the herd as the months go along!
That's a love cow if I ever saw one! I love the blue one, too!
Love the heart ornament! I didn't think the sides of her face were mauve; it all looked awesome. What awesome blocks for the challenge. I'm thinking I should jump in on this yet! I have farmer relatives...
how cute is that?!? (I love the addition of the heart!)
That pink cow is the cutest cow I have ever seen! Put a big smile on my face,
Oh I LOVE these cows! I am a rancher in Texas and have been thinking I wanted to try something like this and now I HAVE to. Great idea, so glad you shared.
Love the pink cow (ok, and the blue one too!) I think the pink heart adds character. I can tell you're having fun.
Aw, love the colorful cows! Isn't it interesting how colors change depending what you put them with? I have that same "mauve" fabric and am always surprised at how different it can look. It works well with the other fabrics on your cow. I'm smiling just picturing the eyelashes.
Those are ridiculously adorable. I am a novice quilter. I would love to think I would try something like that one day :)
