Scrappy Purples for April

My work schedule has gotten back to normal this week, leaving me a little more time for quilting. I was able to spend some time working on both of my projects for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I prepped a bunch of circles for more applique blocks, and got a few of them stitched to the background. I cut out way too many circles, but that lets me use my favorites.
"True Colors" by Nancy Mahoney
from the book Simple Circles and Quick Curves

I have also been busy cutting purple squares for my Rainbow Bowtie blocks and stitching up the first few purple blocks. Here is a selection of blocks from the first four months of the year. I am trying to make 40 - 50 blocks each month, which would give me plenty for one large quilt or a couple of throw-size quilts.

Check out all of the terrific scrappy projects at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. On Sunday I will also link up with Oh Scrap! at Quilting is more fun than housework.

    Hi Julie! Love those circles. You went circle crazy didn't you? What will you do with all of them? So many possibilities... that is what non quilters do not get... all the possibilities.
