Mini Monday - The PINK Kitchen Quilt Edition

Welcome to another edition of Mini Monday!!  This week I'm here to celebrate another PINK success for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  It's the making of my latest Kitchen Quilt.

Would you like to see how it developed???  If so, read on...

I started with some small PINK scraps:

Let's not talk about what the already Swiss-cheese-like fabric scrap looks like now that this darling little fairy was cut out of it as the centerpiece of this little mini:

Piecing sections and adding on here and there to enlarge the design to fit its intended space:

Done!!  Or is it???  Let's test it out on the Gallery Wire:

It went through...

... A number of iterations...

... Before arriving...

... At a design...

... That felt right:

Next, I moved on to preparing the sandwich for quilting:

First, I stabilized and then added details:

Finally, it was quilted and ready for trimming:

Once the mini was all squared up...

... I moved on to binding options:

I was switching sides and taking another look...

... When out of left field (or the PINK scrap bag, as the case may be) came a brand new contender that made all the pieces fall into line:

One PINK Fairy Princess mini, (almost) done, but that strange gap...

... MIGHT be a bit of a problem.  Apparently, it makes a BIG different when you cut AT the mark, instead of a half-inch beyond it when cutting your binding strips to size:

Here is my freshly finished Tales of the PINK Fairy in its new home:

In case you'd like a closer (not too close or you might notice an irregularity or two) look at the mini:

This quilt measures 9.5" wide x 11" tall.  It was made from PINK bits from my scrap bags, Franken-batting from an off-cut of another quilt, and is backed with a Fat Quarter that I received in the contents of a scrap bag from a friend.  (If YOU recognize it, please let me know that it once belonged to you  - and by all means, thank you for sharing it with me.)
