I love purple and have been collecting purple fabrics for a couple years. My plan ... to make some purple quilts. After cutting a homemade purple jelly roll, I pulled out Strip Happy Quilting on a Roll by Donna Kinsey and started sewing blocks for the "Sampler '12' Quilt. Finished blocks are 18"x18". I'm making my blocks 16"x16" and will sash them with 2 1/2" strips of dark purple. The first 4 sampler blocks are in the first picture.

I looked up the book - some fun projects in there. You have a great start to your sampler.
Love all the purples and you have made yourself a beautiful jelly roll!
I love purple too! ♥♥♥
Its funny but purple would not be my choice of colour. However I love your huge pile of fabrics and your blocks look wonderful. Ive done my squares for this month and really struggled to find enough purple, but I admit they are now my favourite coloured block of the challenge!!!
Very unusual blocks, I like them. Great idea to make your own jelly roll.
Love how you made your own jelly roll.... and the blocks are looking great! I think the house is my favorite!
Oh, such lovely blocks and I love the purple jelly roll, another good idea - thanks.
Your have a great collection of purple blocks. I too love purple and have lots.
Your purples are amazing...yum!
Love the one on the bottom right... very differnt. Turn it and it looks like a 6. Can't wait to see the quilt. It'll be a keeper for sure!
Hugs!!
