Getting started with purple...

I shared my pitiful pile of purples in my Wednesday post.


It was enough to get four quarter star blocks out of, plus a few 3.5 inch squares for the 16 patch stars.


So, then I went shopping at my LQS, and stocked up with some purple fat quarters.  Maybe that is cheating, but it is also fun to add to the fabric stash!


Then it was simple to sew up four more purple blocks.  


Plus it will be a lot easier to find the right variety of squares for the 16 patch stars.  More on that in next Saturday's post.  But meanwhile, I had to look at all the blocks with the purple ones added in.  The purples are in each corner now.

60 blocks!

They may be low in number but aren't they all delightful Diann.

I love those little blocks you’re making. And don’t apologize for having to purchase fabrics. We all need to at *some point*! You don’t want to actually run out of fabric do you? Unthinkable! Hope your 4th was a good one!
