My sewing week...

began with finishing up two more split 9 patch blocks in purple, so there are four for the month.

This week I added in some little penguins on purple!

I'm really liking this layout for the split 9s, so maybe this is what I will end up with at the end of the year.  This makes an 18 inch block, when the four are sewn together.


And a start on my April Table Scraps project - it's ready for the binding!



Along the way, I've also worked on house block #3 for the Rainbow Neighbourhood QAL.  It's a pink-themed house!  

I have to make some decisions about the windows and door section,
but once that is figured out it won't take long to sew these sections together.

  1. I love the mix of purples -- red-purple and blue-purple -- in your split-9 blocks. And I'm a fan of the arrangement, as well.

  11. I started doing split nine patches last year (or maybe the year before). I've pretty much fallen off the wagon on RSC and really need to pull them all out and see which colors they are missing. Of course, if the weather ever warms up, I'll be working outside. I saw you commented elsewhere that you have snow on the ground again. I know it's still April, but really, it's time for spring.

  14. Sweet tulips dancing in the window box of your house block. Those Split Nines are going to be very versatile. Will be fun to see how you end up setting them.

  16. Well I think I squealed when I saw your pink house! I am in love with how you are all personalizing the quilt! I thought I had a myriad of options, but then you ladies are taking it to yet another level! Loving the purple projects too - I really enjoyed working with my purples this month.
