Catching Up

Even though October has arrived, and a new color has been chosen for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, I still needed to finish up some purple for September.  So I stitched up a Tiny Tuesday Bright Hopes block!

I guess the black cats are fitting for October!

In order to have five purple blocks (which is what I've made of all the other colors), I added  a simple square set on point of a pretty print that I found on my trip to Oregon.

Then, a decision had to be made.  What scraps would I use for October's blocks - brown, black, or gray?    With my gray sashing, that didn't seem like the right choice, and I didn't really want brown either, but how about black and white prints?  Directions for this week's block can be found here.

Yes!  That will work!  I even found a last little bit of 

some little penguins with their colorful caps.

It's always so fun to put these on the design wall and start thinking about a layout.  I like this ROYGBIV layout, but will need to decide how to make the quilt wider.

More thinking to be done about this one!

Meanwhile, I finished up the two purple Tiny Rails blocks I was working on in September.

Lavendar and dark.

Here's what's happening with these blocks - 

I think I will shoot for two more, for a quilt that would measure

about 50 x 50.

I've enjoyed my week of getting caught up - hope you've had a good one, too!  See you over at SoScrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday!
