Midweek Update

Over the weekend I continued on working on a little of this and a little of that - mostly with my purple scraps.  I got out the gameboard blocks to do a little assessment of where I am with those.  I had planned to make 30 of them and there are now 25.  Three of each color except purple (two there) and light neutrals (only one).  I've been thinking a 5 x 6 layout would make a nice smallish quilt for donation - just have to decide on the layout.


That lead to making the center 16 patch for another purple block!



While still looking at my purple scraps, I came up with a plan for this month's scrappy placemat, too.  Hoping to have a finish to share on Saturday!


And I've made a couple more blocks for Melva's Irish Chain sew-along.  I like cutting a little and sewing a little, so that's what's happening here.  I'm up to six blocks now, with a goal of nine total for a tabletopper.

There's some scrappy fun!
