Because of rainbow scrap challenge's color of the month PINK
I pulled out the bag of tiny pink squares, some tiny white squares, and sewed them into little approximately 3" to 4" blocks. many of them
I pressed them but didn't trim to any one size, just laid them out to kind of match the ones next to it, and began to sew the rows together. I sort of trimmed the rows to 12" X 3-3.5"
see as kind of a garden lattice
like the flower and other random prints
but
it's really quite small, 12 X 15 ish
so what if I added scrappy strips
I wanted to do hexies again, by hand when I am sitting in a chair at night, watching tv, trying to ignore pain

I juggle paper art, fabric love, pain and puppy attention
I am enjoying Sketchbook Revival lessons, but am woefully behind. I sit long as I can, learn, draw, paint, stamp, collage.
I always start with a quick impression painting of the instructor on the page... here are some of the early lessons.... click on photos to enlarge for detail

This workshop is free, online, and lovely
I'll end with another piece of wisdom from my puppy, whom we've had for 2 months now
Alfie: Which way should I go? " why not choose both directions and go one at a time?!

To answer your 'then what' question - what if you were to applique some flowers on top? The green in their leaves would play nicely with the pinks I think.
I enjoyed looking at your Sketchbook Revival art -- your watercolour bamboo stalks and leaves are BEAUTIFULLY done! They have a real Japanese esthetic to the brushwork!
Love your abstract lattice. Such pretty pinks. And your sketchbook pages are so fun.
The workshop looks like a great way to practice a wide range of different styles, different inspiration, different mark-making and use of colour, even different materials. I shoyld make time for something like this - I hope they are still around whwn I have time, space and materials.
Your work is always so beautiful, LeeAnna!
Your pink "garden lattice" turned out beautifully. Your paper art projects are really colorful and fun. The hexies are fun too. Happy creating this week.
I love your pink little garden, and the pink spirale too. Cute clocks ;) The sketchbook art looks beautiful, I love all the variations you are exploring and the drawings of the ladies! Alfie looks like he wants to explore both ways ;) Thank you for sharing and linking up.
Sweet PINK sewing and super fun art!! I'm impressed by the number of lessons you did. LOVE those teacher protraits!
Wow your quilting is so summery. I love all of your art pieces too. Have a great day today.
J'aime tout, mais le paysage sur le croquis du haut me plaît particulièrement
I really like this post and am so happy that you shared with FFO. Have a very nice weekend.
Nice work
I like the pink Abstract! that is a great idea - and gives it such an organic look. Go Alfie - go both ways!
Your post is so onteresting, luv your art and fabrics
Thanl you for linking to AFFF

Love your cheerful pink quilt, Leeanna! Such a lovely creation came out of distracting yourself from pain. I hope it goes away soon. I enjoyed seeing your Sketchbook pages. I love how you sketch your instructors. Your puppy is adorable. Enjoy your weekend!
Ingo got me a Singer but sadly I have no talent for sewing - I adore yours! And the sketches are great, too :-)
Love your pink blocks for RSC, as well as your sketches. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
Such pretty happy pinks to work with! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
