After playing with purple this week, l have nine 6.5" purple butterfly blocks for my column quilt. The 2" HSTs are extras from making the butterflies' wings. A purple Boxy Block made it into the picture. The pattern for this block is on Bonnie Hunter's website. To see what others made with purple, go here Saturday morning.
I'm participating in Sarah's Nifty Nines Sew Along. I'll add these scrappy 9-patch blocks to my collection.
It's H2H time. Hands 2 Help. I'm making 16-patches blocks each month for a Sweet Sixteen charity quilt. I'll add these to my collection.
Making doll quilts has become addictive. This one finished at 19.5" square. I'll donate it to sell in our annual Quilt Show's Boutique.
Love your butterflies and boxy star - great purple play. You have some great juvenile scraps - sweet patch work.

ReplyDeleteSo wonderful and scrappy. And I love the turquoise border on the doll quilt.
ReplyDeleteYour butterflies are just beautiful! So happy! I’ve sewn together my bonus HSTs too, but haven’t pressed or squared them. Just threw them in the HST box..... you are so disciplined!!
ReplyDeleteNice projects going on. I love purple scraps!
ReplyDeleteThe purple boxy stars look great. I really had to look because the contrast between the light and the background is so subtle.
