Playing with purple

After several finishes in the month of June, it was lovely this week to just play with the purple fabrics.  I have to admit these are not all scraps, as I have a very small amount of those in purple, but now that I've cut into a few new fat quarters, new scraps are being created!  💜

Two Masala Box blocks:


This group of blocks just keeps getting prettier!



Pieces and parts for three Bloom baskets.   I'll use these for leaders and enders for the rest of the month.


And a seed of an idea for my July Table Scraps project, too.

    I got my purple scrap box out at the first of the month and have yet to touch it. Seeing your Masala Boxes makes me want to start another one! Maybe next year ...

    Your purple blends in so nicely with the rest of the colors. And thank you for showing your clip caddy up close Thursday. It doesn't look hard at all.

    Great purple blocks. I love basket blocks especially. Purple is such a hard color to use, so not a surprise that many of us have few purple scraps.

    Everyone of those boxes has been fabulous. Your purple scraps work beautifully in your basket blocks and I'm in suspense waiting to see what your table scraps project will be!

    Your RSC blocks are gorgeous. I sometimes have to raid fat quarters because some of the pieces in my block are too big for the size scraps I have. So I am also cutting into fat quarters. Your boxes look really great together. Oh, and those great basket blocks on point. I'm getting a hankering to make some baskets.... Uh, oh! I wonder if I'll succumb.
