Lily's Quilts Quilt-Along

I recently joined in another quilt-along!  Am I crazy?  Yes, a little.  I once again was doing some blog hopping and stumbled across this fabulous blog by the lovely Lynne.  She had created a beautiful mini-quilt using Sherbet Pips fabric, and it just so happened that she was doing a quilt-along of that very quilt block.  As soon as I saw it, I knew that it was what I wanted to do with my Sherbet Pips bundle, so I jumped aboard (a little behind, but not too much!)  I am making a four block quilt, and before you think this is going to be small, it isn't.  Each of those four blocks are 30" x 30", thus I am making a 60" x 60" lap quilt, and I probably will add a border also.  I hope to sew in the center circles in the next few days and then I will be caught up with the rest of the group!

Each block uses six prints from the Sherbet Pips line, plus the addition of a solid Kona Ash that I then hand embroidered a running stitch in matching colors (red, dark pink. light pink and blue.)  I love the handmade touch this added to each block.  Each block is completely unique because I used a different six prints in each one, for a total of 24 different Sherbet Pips prints!  So far I am really pleased with how they are turning out, and the piecing has been really enjoyable!  I'm off to cut out and sew in those circles! 
Wish me luck!
