This is my weekly purple offering to the soscrappy QAL color challenge. All month, quilters around the world are making purple blocks. See her blog (HERE!)
I did one post on purple (See it Here!) with the block I plan to do monthly in each month's color scheme.
This weekend I decided to make the block from quilt doodles (link is here!) but in purples. I have done her other blocks and plan to quilt as you go by sections. The strip of stars goes across the whole quilt size 6.5" X 58.5"
I also printed out a paper piecing block from SewPrecise software, to use a few purple bits. This block finishes at 6 inches as well.
Just for fun I took pics both ways and am not sure how I might want them set. I kind of like the on point look. It's fun to use scraps, to make something from nothing, and to see color emerging.
I might be focusing on purple but I can not stay to one color family completely. I shaded it to blue and to red violet just to keep me interested.
Check out that black and white scrap of body parts! Bwaa-ha-ha!

Wow, those purple stars with the b&w are gorgeous! And the body parts fabric is super sweet!
ReplyDeleteWow, cool!! I always lean toward square, but on point is awesome too. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty both ways :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a purple person, but your blocks just shine! Love the stars with the white and black background.
ReplyDeleteStarry Starry Night.....Hi LeeAnna!
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
Take care,

I really like the fabrics you're working with- the background makes the purples pop. I'm very drawn to the block set on point as in the first photo...
