Getting started with purple...

It's always such a pleasure to pull out the new color of the month and start digging through the scraps and stash!  That's what I did this week with purple.

Squares and HSTs for a patchwork heart block, 
and odd shaped pieces for crumb blocks.

And, in fact, I did get the patchwork heart sewn up, with lots of fun purples in it.



There are four of these so far, plus three of the alternate chain blocks that I'm also making in the color of the month.   I haven't started the purple one yet, but those blocks will be on the list for this weekend!

    You've got such a good start on your heart blocks! Those purples really are fun - and I'm shocked to see a penguin in the midst! :D

    Those heart blocks are really cute. Purple is one of my favorite colors to sew with, so I'm looking forward to playing with all those scraps this month.

    Lovely heart blocks Diann. And a great variety of purples, it's one colour I don't have a lot of.

    The hearts are so pretty -- I like the low-volume-but-all-different backgrounds that you're using. They make the scrappy hearts stand out so nicely.
