Pink Ribbon Month

Today is October 1 and my block today is the Pieced Ribbon block. As you may know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. My favorite Aunt Etta Mae died of that horrible disease in the early 1980s. So much has advanced in the treatment of it today and we celebrate all that good science, research and medicine.

Pieced Ribbon: 14"

First, let's see the Benartex fabrics I was working with. Gotta love those coffee cups and hearts and cupids. I think this is a Valentine's line called Hugs and Kisses, but pink is what I was looking for.

The block is composed of squares, triangles and rectangles. Here is a photo of the two block halves. If you make this block for October, you can have it on hand for Valentine's Day 2026!

Here is a digital quilt I designed for my 2016 Block a Day Calendar: Ribbons of Promise.
