Pretty Purples

My appliqued circles for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge have been coming along pretty well this month. Twelve purple blocks are finished, and I have a couple more prepped and ready to be stitched. I suppose I should sit down and figure out how many I need to make each month, but for now I am just enjoying the stitching and not worrying about having a goal to reach.

Now that baseball season is here, I am spending more time watching TV. I guess "watching" TV isn't very accurate for me. What it really means is listening to the games while I hand stitch, looking up from time to time or when the announcers get really excited about something that happened on the field. That extra handwork time has made it possible for me to finish adding the background hexies to my purple star. One more star needs background, then it's time to start joining them all together. This has been an on-going project since August of 2013!

Check out all of the terrific scrappy projects at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I am also linking up on Sunday to Oh Scrap! at Quilting is more fun than Housework.

    Love the white and black hexies that surround the stars. They really make the purple pop. Great appliqued circle blocks. They should make a gorgeous quilt.
