Purple and Finshes

I love the 9-patch blocks surrounded by black & white prints several RSC participants are doing! I pulled out the single color 9-patch blocks I made last year and added some other 9-patch blocks to make a nice size donation quilt. I was shocked by how many black and white prints I had stashed away in my sewing room, I will need to make more quilts with these!

I finished my purple crumbs and pinwheels and used a few purple pieces from my stash on the back. I quilted with a fun and easy double-triangle allover design. This week our guild gave 100 quilts to Hole in the Wall camp and this quilt was in the pile.

Check out all the other purple scrap projects at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge Scraphappy Saturday!

Purple Scrap Progress

After a multi-year blog hiatus, I am reviving my blog with pictures of my rainbow scrap projects. I played along last year and made a small quilt and/or some blocks each month and loved watching my scrap bins decrease slightly. For this month's challenge, I pulled out some purple crumb blocks, made a few more and added purple pinwheel blocks.

I also finally quilted and added the binding to my purple "stacks" quilt from last year. When I used up all my pre-cut purple 2.5 x 4.5 pieces, I used pink rectangles rather than cut more purple. All those pre-cut pieces had been languishing in my sewing room and it is great to be able to actually close the box now.

My guild has a very active comfort quilt program and both of these quilts will be donated.
