More with Purple

 My main goal for this week was to finish up the Bloom blocks with their purple baskets, and that was accomplished!


Here are all the baskets up on the design wall together - 21 of them so far!


I really fell in love with that one purple floral print, and just had to play with it a little more.  A purple EPP hexie, some 4 patches for the parts department, and a mug rug that still needs its binding.


One last photo to share of my design wall.  While the crumb hearts quilt top waits for its batting and backing, it makes me smile to have it hanging there!
