Art Quilt: Just Embrace the Pink (twin)

With two quilt siblings in between, here now is the twin of Embrace the Pink. In English we call twins either "identical" or "fraternal," but this felt more like the un-identical sister. Fraternal. Maternal. Paternal. The feminine must be, and is, Sororal. But have we ever heard it used? Curious. 

I thought the pair might be Embrace the Pink I and II, but I'm wary of giving numbered titles, since it subconsciously implies to me that one must be first or better than the other, one derivative, or that you must have both to be complete. In any case, this is the sororal (autocorrect wants this to be "sorrel," and although botanically inspired, that is not the plant it is), twin of Embrace the Pink, with a twist. An independent being. Just Embrace the Pink.

Can't. Stop. Sewing.
Or, should I say, the quilts are self-sowing?

Thanks, Maja! It's not high on my list, either, so an interesting challenge, for sure.
