This month over at So Scrappy, the color for the month is Purple.
I made 10 quilt blocks that will finish at 6" square.
I also made 4 purple blocks that will finish at 12" square for the Solstice Challenge. Here's the only one I haven't shared yet, Cobble Stones.
I than took all my purple scraps and cut them up into 1.5", 2", 2.5", 3.5" squares, and into bricks (I can't come up with those sizes right now), plus I kept strips that measured at least 3/4" wide to 1 1/2" wide. Got the measurements from Bonnie Hunter. Anything that was at least 5" I didn't cut down, so I have some bigger pieces of purple to work with too! I also left some strips uncut too.
Put all the different sizes in storage bags and put it all into my purple box. (I really wish I would have take a before picture of my box.)
loving all thrse purple blocks, I am struggling to find enough purple to make one!Thinking of doing churn dash blocks for this challenge but ho knows I could change my mind before I start!
ReplyDeleteYou have done a great job sorting out the purples.
ReplyDeleteLove the storage box too.
The storage box pattern is in the book Sunday Morning Quilts.
DeleteYour purple box looks so organized and nicely color coordinated. The 6 inch blocks are adorable.
