Purple Play

There hasn't been a lot of time for quilting this week, but I do have some cute little blocks to share. The March color for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge is purple, and I have a collection of 3" blocks up on the wall. The 9-patch blocks are for my Ring Cycles quilt. The pinwheels were started with waste triangles from my RSC Sampler Butterfly blocks. I like how the two sets of blocks look together.




Be sure to check out all of the wonderful scrappy projects at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge every Saturday and at Oh Scrap! over at Quilting is more fun than Housework on Sunday.

    These mini blocks together made a great combo of purples. I am saving my bonus HST just in case. Happy weekend!

    Beautiful purple blocks! If you did purple another month, you might have a whole quilt done.

    So beautiful! And now you've added another idea to my seemingly endless list of nine-patch quilts...

    How nice to get those pinwheels from your butterflies. An unexpected bonus and they mix so well with the 9-patch blocks.

    You'll have to remember those two blocks together because they look great. Can't wait to see next months progress on your Ring Cycles.
