April = Purple

April = Purple. Think of crocus and pasque flowers. Somewhere in the world there is a warm south facing hillside where they are blooming, alas not in my garden. However, there are other sources for this wonderful colour to show up in the studio. So in the meantime, bring on the 2 gallon bag of purple scraps.
By scrounging through this bag of purple scraps and cutting 16 x 2" squares = 16 patch set in Sawtooth Star.

 I had a little game of catch up with the 2" pink = February, that I needed to get set into it's Sawtooth Star. Now I am caught up on the Sawtooth Stars with 16 patch centres.

Thank You cards created with tiny purple 'sweaters' ready to give to travelers that will be traveling with us to Ireland in June 2015. Us = Celtic Quilt Tours.

And there was some time to get started on the next round of string blocks

1st purple string block

It is now time to get the border units sewn onto my RRCB. This comfy quilt will be ready for filmsy reveal very very soon.

For a ringside seat on what promises to be some very lovely purple entries please check out SoScrappy. I will also post to Oh Scrap! (there is some overlap - but all celebrating working with scraps).

Wishing you all a very Happy Easter.
Love and hugs
