Today is my day on the Tickled Pink Blog Hop. If you are visiting for the first time Welcome! Our host is Carla of Creatin’ in the Sticks.
I have made lots of pink quilts over the years. I consider myself a "pinkaholic!"
For years I have used a pattern to teach a newby how to quilt. It is a single page that, I feel, teaches all the basics of quilting.
Start with three colors. Dark, medium and light fabric.
Plus cut 23 5" squares of the dark fabric.
Cut large pieces per instructions.
This is how it will turn out. The thing I like about this quilt is that it teaches you how to view things from an angle. Plus many basic quilting techniques. Always press with every seam that you sew. You will find a much better quilt in the end.
Here's the directions for the quilt. The paper is old and well worn but it works just the same :-)

I'd like to invite you back to my blog in two days. See, it's my Blogiversary and I will be having a Giveaway to celebrate 13 years. So please come on back and join me. I love visitors and your comments are always appreciated.
Be sure to stop by the other Tickled Pink participants. If you miss a day, you can still go back and visit. Be sure to leave a comment, so we know you have visited.
Have fun and happy quilting.

Great quilt! It's very pretty!
I always find it's a challenge to sew quilts on point - and you have done a fantastic job! Thanks for sharing!
That is a great project for beginners. Your settings in Google drive won’t allow me to access the full directions.
That is a great quilt for teaching. Happy blog anniversary to you. I started my blog a year before you in March, so I guess we are a couple of diehard bloggers to still be around when so many others have quit blogging.
That is a great pattern! I will definitely print it out. I thought I was a pink-aholic too, but when I sorted my stash by color last year, I found I don't have as much as I thought!

Happy Blogversary! Your quilt is lovely and I appreciate the tutorial.
What a great quilt and love that you showed us the steps. I tried to download your instruction sheet, but the access is denied. I think there is a button that needs to be clicked to share it. Thank you for the fun quilt and for the pink tickle!
"Always press with every seam that you sew. You will find a much better quilt in the end."
Yes Yes Yes!!
Great design. It is always surprising how different blocks look when turned on-point. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my goodness, what a fun project. I love seeing it come to life with every photo! Thanks for sharing the instructions as well. I just may have some scraps.... LOL!!!!
Great project and use of scraps. Thanks so much for sharing!
What a cute learning project this makes! I love how it can go from a runner to any size you want. It's really beautiful!
Awesome design. I really love it. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful pink fabrics and quilt too! I truly love your quilt and I'm inspired that you've used this lovely design/pattern to teach the art of making quilts. What a wonderful way to teach.
Jocelyn your little quilt is just the perfect project for a beginner Quilter. Thank you for sharing your pattern. It’ll be great if I have permission to use it for my beginners at my Guild? Thank you for sharing and being part of the hop. 😉
Great beginner project. Thanks for sharing.
That does indeed look to be a good project for beginning quilters. Yours turned out lovely.
Great quilt! I like on-point designs they can make a simple block look great.
A great way to showcase a feature fabric.
This is a great project. Thanks for sharing the instructions with us.
Pretty quilt, and seems so simple but the look is fabulous.
that may be for new quilters but it doesn't look basic well done
Jocelyn, I think that less experienced to the fully experienced would enjoy playing with this pattern, I really like tie and I think I am something like an intermediate quilter. I couldn't get the directions in the spot marked"here: though.
Happy almost here blogversary.
Thanks for sharing your pretty pink quilt!
Thats a great starter quilt. Thanks for the tutorial it Tickled me Pink.
I'm a pinkaholic too. Beautiful quilt. I adore rail fence blocks and your fabric choice is wonderful. Thank you so much for the tutorial and the pdf.
I've always loved block designs like this that look so complicated, but are so simple in the making...isn't that what all (or most) quilters want? Me, for sure! Thanks for the updated link. The pattern itself looks like it's been loved and worn, like a good quilt design should be!
Genius way to teach someone to piece a quilt! I love the pinks in this one, but I can see it scrappy too. Thanks for sharing this!
