RSC25 - January: Pink

 My specific quilty intention this year is stash reduction.  I'm going to use RSC25 as the framework for this effort.  Here at Spiral I can find reference to myself doing RSC as far back as 2013, so it's been quite a while!  Our RSC challenge color for January is PINK.

Right out of the starting gate, I selected out this hefty mound of pink yardage and gifted it to Neomi, a craft friend here in town.   These were mostly bright modern style prints, and I have absolutely no plans to make that type of quilt at any time in the future, so clearing them away has already lightened my load by many many yards. 


My first RSC25 sewing goal each month will be batik 9-patch blocks in the designated color.  Since I have drawers-full of batiks, I certainly won't be depleting it all, but anyway I will stop stockpiling and start consuming.  9-patch blocks coming next week. 

I made a rainbow 9-patch quilt with RSC several years ago that was gifted away -- will be aiming for something similar.
