Well, here we are in a brand-spanky-new year and the RSC has us all in the pink!
First cake stand of the year,
If all else fails, I can throw them into a table runner because I've rashly joined Joyful's Table Scraps Challenge. (I figure I can be the Designated Bad Example for not finishing anything. People will be able to say "well, at least I did better than Poor Gayle" and it will cheer them up)
And then, because I've once again fallen under the influence of the Amazing Cathy, and because I was cutting 3.5" and 2" strips anyway for my cake stands, I found myself with one of these Antique Tiles blocks.
Now I just have to resist the appeal of the other dozen quilts she's making using those size strips...
Linking with SoScrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday (even though it's currently Sunday) and with Quilting is more fun than Housework for Oh Scrap! Come join the fun!

Oh yes, the amazing Cathy has no end of squirrels, I mean, inspiration on her blog.
I love that pink fabric with the cat faces. Cute! Love the cake stand. Both! I am tempted to make Jacks n Sixes. I am a fixation on HSTs lately. I see them everywhere and always find them so much fun. It must be a curse or something. Looking forward to the table runner gallery. I am not getting on the bandwagon but will encourage all participants. Anywho! You obviously have pink up to your elbows, so I'll let you work. Enjoy! ;^)
So much pink! I love it!
I love all your blocks, and how you’re just flying by the seat of your pants this year with them. That’s what I’m doing, too thanks in part to you and Cathy! One never knows what we’ll have to show at the end of a sewing session!
There's an awful lot of fun going on in your sewing room, Gayle! I really love those stars!
Are you suffering from PINK overload, Gayle? SEW glad that you threw some orange into the middle of those little 9-Patch blocks!! :o))
I started making the sunprint blocks and digging into pinks because of your terrible influence. But I have 4 more seams and then I will finish PSP20...so that’s why I’m blog cruising...hope no squirrels run out in the middle of the road.
You have so many lovely blocks but in the ends you'll get some of them finished. At least you're sewing fabric from your stash and not out buying new fabrics, or are you? Before eating my breakfast this morning, I went and pulled pink strips from the 2.5" box. RSC block #5 will be starting today. Happy stitching!
I have resisted the cake stands so far . . . your pink ones are seriously tempting me again though. And nine patches/HSTs are such a weakness for me. Perhaps my Easy Breezy will transform . . . SO many options. LOVE your cheerful perky pinks.
What a wonderful array of pink, Gayle! I love basket blocks and I think Cake Stand is my favorite. Having some go-to blocks like Jacks 'n' Six is a good idea. (And, yes: The Amazing Cathy is tge Scrap Goddess.)
I've been dithering for days (how's that for alliteration ?). I leaning toward making some blocks without a plan in mind. Strings, crumbs, HSTs in 2 sizes and maybe some four and nine patches.

Love it! All of it!
Love the new cake stand blocks - are they getting close to be a quilt yet? ;-)
I may have to give the square-in-square blocks a try; I have soooo many 2.5 inch scraps!
Oh, today's post is like a dip into a box of chocolates. I can't pick a fav. And not only am I making those big square in square Sunprints (they actually get a partial border later on and then set staggered) but I'm making your small version now too...chips.
So many lovely blocks. What fun you are having.
Great start to RSC2021, Gayle! You are so funny describing your blocks! The Table Scraps Challenge will have another player to shake their heads over saying, "Poor Sue" too! Hahaha!
What a wonderful selection of pinks to start off the year - as usual you have lots going on!!
Have you made Jack's Chain? It uses small 9 patches...
