But, hey, blue is nice, too. 8)
I got a few little pigs done right off, and decided to go with the larger size.
My plan is to make one piglet each week throughout the month, along with a block from the list that I've chosen for RSC2016.
So, I made another blue piggy this week, and again used a bit of purple for an accent color.
Once again, thanks to Sally T for this sweet little oinker. Tutorial here.
Then on to Chantal's Pinwheels*, which is the other high-on-the-list block.
But, of course, once I had that blue plaid out, I had to have a blue plaid pig. Because seriously, who wouldn't want a blue plaid pig?
(Colors are darker in real life. Sometimes my camera just hates me.)
So, at this point I should have two blue piglets, and I have three.
I can see it now - it's going to be the monkeys all over again...
* I've got a couple of leads on the name for this block. There's a pattern for a miniature called Pinwheel Garden by Primitive Gatherings, and I found it called Rhubarb Whirl from a book called Home to Roost. (picture - Sister's Choice blog) I don't see anything rhubarby about it at all, so I may just keep calling it Chantal's Pinwheel. (Hi, Chantal!)
Linking to So Scrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday, where all the rainbows gather. Come see the fun!
One pig, two pig, red pig, blue pig...
ReplyDeleteHi Gayle. :^D
ReplyDeleteOink, oink and so the family grows lol. So cute!
Pinwheel Garden is exactly the quilt I saw so many years ago in a magazine. Kudos to you for finding this. It doesn't exactly say the name of the block just the name of the quilt, I think. I'll write to Primitive Gathering and see what comes up.
Have a great "oinky" day!
;^)
I need a plaid pig too! I am off to search my scraps.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are looking great!
If your piglets are so cold that they are turning blue, it's probably time to bring them inside. Although making one a plaid coat was a very nice gesture.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! Who doesn’t need a blue plaid pig?!? Sooooooo cute! Can’t wait for all your pigs to play together!
ReplyDeleteVery cute pigs. I bet they are fun to make.
ReplyDeleteWhat the world needs now is certainly more blue plaid pigs! :)
ReplyDeleteI think more blue plaid pigs is just what we need, well, maybe not as much as pink and purple plaid pigs..... Too cute! Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteIowa is a big pork producing state. Will the piggies be shipped here for processing?
ReplyDeleteLoving your blue porkers!!!
ReplyDeleteblue bacon =) Your piglets are looking great.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you found a name for "Chantel's" Pinwheels, as I'll be making those, too. (Just not THIS year!!)
ReplyDeleteI love your three little pigs! I absolutely love Chantal's pinwheels too and plan to make a quilt using them as well.
ReplyDeletethose pigs!!!
ReplyDeletehmmm Chaos... you'll spend a lot of time this year learning about that word. Good luck! LeeAnna
So you have a litter of three cold little piggies (they've turned blue from the cold, right?). You need to be on the lookout for a bacon print to use on the back of the eventual quilt.
ReplyDelete;- )
Too stinking cute. ;)
ReplyDeleteLike the first poster said - one pig, two pigs, red pig, blue pig . . . love the plaid version!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your cute little pig blocks. It's going to be fun seeing them in rainbow colors.
