The pattern for this block calls for pink and green calicos. I thumbed through my stash and found I’m running a little low on pink. I made two quilts last year for neighbors with baby girls. I cut a pack of pink charm (5"x5") squares for a dear friend expecting a granddaughter. In a few months my next-door-neighbor will have her second child - another girl. I think I have enough charm squares left to make another scrappy pink baby quilt. But it’s clear I need to either be frugal with my pinks or go shopping for more. Shopping for fabric here isn’t nearly as rewarding as it is in the States. I can’t touch the folds rolling off their bolts. I can’t hold two prints together up to the light to see if they “like” each other. So I decided to be stingy with the pink prints I have. And I made yellow tea roses instead.
