Finishing up with Purple




I have really enjoyed sewing with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for February - purple - and have a few blocks to share from my sewing this week.

I finished up a 10 inch mini fence rail block in purple -


These blocks are sewn slowly together through the month whenever I have a few bits cut at 1.5 x 2.5, and have grown into a colorful group of 8 so far.


I also made two Scrappy Sprouts blocks in different shades of purple.


These join my light blue sprouts, and give a hint of a fun future quilt!


I have to admit that purple is not my favorite color, so I don't have a lot of purple scraps,  but every year I enjoy the RSC purple month anyway!

  4. Purple is one of my favorites, but don't often use them in a quilt-I wear it instead:0 Next month, after you make your mini rail blocks, you should lay them all out for a pic;) love seeing the progress.

  5. Echoing Vicki - I'd love to see your mini rails all together!
    I'm a big fan of purple, so this is one of my favorite months - everyone has such pretty blocks to show off!

  6. Your project looks great and I love the flower shot. I worked on a purple & green project years ago; had very little scraps left. I meant to do something with them in regards to piecing earlier in the month for RSC and still have not done so lol

  12. Well, you sure did a lot with the little bit of purple! Is that columbine from your garden? I used to have some of that variety in mine but they slowly disappeared over the years.
