I was just like a little kid on Monday, when I checked in at So Scrappy to see what Angela had posted for the new color of the month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge! When I saw purple with a dash of yellow, I was on it! I knew I would be headed out to visit my mom in Phoenix for the weekend, so there wouldn't be much time to sew with purples, but I did get a Scrap Jar Star completed before I left.
I've noticed that purple is a hard color to photograph. At least in my experience, it tends to look blue, but I can assure you that this block is made of purples - from very dark and rich to more pastel. My favorite fabric (and one I only have a teeny, tiny bit of) is this one with pansies, and they have yellow centers! So perfect! I decided to be very careful how I use it, so that I can stretch it out as much as possible.
I had already made a yellow star way back in December, just to try out the block and see if it would work for this project, so here they are together.
And one more photo, just because!
Can't wait to see some more purple over at
SoScrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday!

Love your block and the pansies fabric too. The picture does come out as purple on my computer and it is just beautiful!! ;^)
Thanks, Chantal! I tried two different cameras and about four different locations to take the pictures. Finally got a few good ones!
Your block is perfection, and a great use of scrappy pieces! Don't be surprised if you see some of us, er (cough) "borrowing" this idea!!
You made another beautiful block, this time in purple and yellow. I agree with you, purple is very hard to photograph as it turns blue, but your pictures are perfect. Enjoy your time wirh your mother.
Loving these stars in all of the colouways so far.
Lovely!
Your stars go together so well and now you're ahead of the game. Have a good visit. The last photo shows the true purple colors better. Precious pansy!
Enjoy your visit with Mom!! Don't worry... PURPLE scraps will wait for your return.
Nicely done!
That pansy fabric is just perfect for March. Great little scrap jar stars.
Beautiful! This quilt is really going to be fun. I am sure you will get a few more purple blocks sewn up when you get back home. Have a great trip!
The two colors look great together. I love star blocks.
These are just lovely! Love the yellow and purple together. :)
