And now, Pink Cow!

 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.

PugMom said...

And she needs some earrings too! Can never have enough bling, even if you're a cow!

Quiltdivajulie said...

No sashing, just cows . . . and I like her better without the heart on her forehead.

Mari said...

Strawberry and Blueberry? They're adorable! And I would save the bling for the quilting. She's cute enough already!

Maria said...

I'm a pink girl as well.. So I love the pink cow!

I like the Warhol look. Keep going with it.

Snowcatcher said...

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!

Sylvia said...

Moo!

What fun!! Are cows the new "foxes" in the quilting world? I'm seeing them pop up more frequently recently!!

Lisa J. said...

Love those cows! They are great.

Julierose said...

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

Terri said...

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.

I like the heart. Maybe a snowflake with blue and a shamrock with green =)

Magpie Sue said...

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.

Tha's super cute!

Sharon said...

This cow is so cute. Is the pattern available?

France Nadeau ❅ inspiration imagination creation said...

She is one pretty lady. More extrovert than her blue friend, I think. But they sure make a lovely pair!

Julie said...

Leeanna, So Cute!! I like in a dairy producing area, and cows are big here. I love your progress.

Createology said...

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...

Lorna McMahon said...

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!

Jen W. said...

That's a love cow if I ever saw one! I love the blue one, too!

Sandra Walker said...

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...

the momma said...

how cute is that?!? (I love the addition of the heart!)

Daytona Damsel said...

That pink cow is the cutest cow I have ever seen! Put a big smile on my face,

the zen quilter said...

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.

Kathy S. said...

Love the pink cow (ok, and the blue one too!) I think the pink heart adds character. I can tell you're having fun.

JanineMarie said...

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.

Anna said...

Those are ridiculously adorable. I am a novice quilter. I would love to think I would try something like that one day :)
