2017 RSC January Purple Week 2, Doll Quilt, RSC Baby Quilt


Another Rainbow Scrap Challenge Year! Yah! I LOVE this challenge. Angela at Super Scrappy is hosting another RSC year and she chose PURPLE for the month of January. Thank you, Angela.
Since purple is one of my favorite colors, this month is going to be FUN.
I enjoyed making a 36 patch quilt last year and have decided to make another one this year. A RSC crayon quilt has been on my RSC list for a few years. Pictured is a 36" purple crayon, six 16 patch blocks, six string blocks, a 36 patch block and two pot holders.


I'm making doll quilts again this year. The ones I made in 2016, except for two that went to my great-grand daughter, were all donated. This doll quilt is around 20" square.


I pulled and sashed sixteen blocks made during the 2016 RSC year for an easy donation baby quilt. The orange numbers print border fabric was from stash. I had enough for the back, too. A black on white word print, also from stash, is the binding. It's quilted with a loose free motion meander and finished at about 42" square. I'll take it to our quilt guild's January meeting. To see what others made with their purple scraps, go here Saturday morning.

I agree purple is a gorgeous colour! And your variety of fabrics always amazes me! Happy New Year and a happy creative one also.

You amaze me every week with the number of bright and happy blocks you manage to keep making AND turning into quilts. You have the best stash!

Jo said...

Love the pencil block. How are you going to set these when you have enough for a quilt...

Quilter Kathy said...

I want to make a crayon quilt too... such a fun way to use up scraps!
AND a finish?!?! You are amazing!

Linda M @ Pieceful Kingdom said...

Great projects. I love all of the purple in your first photo!

Brenda Kay said...

I have a granddaughter that would love the crayon blocks in a quilt. Think that is gonna make it on my to do list this month.

Cathy said...

That is the prettiest RSC purple progress I've ever seen! WOW! I really love all your blocks and am going to take a cue from you about making doll/pet/donation quilts this year from abundant scrap colors. Thanks for the sweet eye candy!

Terri said...

Love the crayon block... I have some little crayon paper pieced blocks from years ago... I should add to those, but I like yours better.
I like that your stash includes prints with multicolors... Those little sparks of other colors really create interest. I'm going stash diving to find some prints here. You are so inspirational.
Thanks for sharing your quilts... I always learn something from your posts.
Hugs

Wow, you've been busy. I love the crayon block, a crayon quilt is also on my list, however first I need to finish up some of the stacks of blocks stashed in my quilting room. I'm glad Angela has added a finishing day at the end of each month.

Are you using a pattern for the crayon quilt? I would really love to make one.

Sally Trude said...

What an amazing collection of purples...quite amazing when seen on full view. And I'm happy to see you are on your way to another year of over-achieving!

I enjoyed seeing all of your blocks and projects! Such pretty purples! The donation baby quilt is such a great idea. I definitely have extra blocks from last year that I could do that with, too.

Faye said...

Beautiful quilts. I love the purples!

You've been super busy! What a great way to start your new year with your favorite color! Your crayon is amazing! That is going to be a really fun quilt! Looking forward to seeing you at guild my friend.

Lots of pretty purples in those blocks! I'm looking forward to seeing all your projects, but the crayon quilt is likely to be my favorite.

It is great to start out fresh with a good array of finished things!
I love the quilts and the doll blanket!
