Sewing Saturday purple lozenges

 It was a busy week of sewing and creative pursuits here at Chez LeeAnna's!

I did the purple lozenge blocks for the RSC this month... 

which means, I also had a lot of little 1 1/2" HST's left over... I started playing with those...

the paper on the right is some google images I printed out to start my engines running

I really like this arrangement but would want more hst units so maybe in future...

then this caught my eye...

sewn together it's 7" X 10"
 
More on this one next week... it's now almost finished! and I used some of my painted fabric!
 
I put my purple scraps to use in some handwork too.
 

...some tumbling blocks. From right to left the stages

>cut out and collect three shades 

> combine with the template into a wee kit to sew during TV time

>a lot

>baste to the paper

>sew into a block

I finished the next Flower challenge piece, that will post next Wednesday hopefully! No teaser pics... but it's done!

Here is the one I posted last Wednesday...

 

Link to detailed photos right here!

  

in case you're here from Tuesday is for T.... I'm drinking iced tea made from constant comment plus green tea, half decaf!

worked a bit on the applique for the green strips quilt

This week I got out my fabric, paints, stencils, inks and made three pieces to turn into art quilts soon... that post is here :Painting on fabric

 

So this week, I used my scraps, my paints, my supplies so that's a win! right?

    I am loving that flower block. Also like the second arrangement of the HST, the one that looks like a chain. You get so much accomplished in one week!

    Lots of fun with PURPLE scraps, LeeAnna... once you got started! Is that a sweet little butterfly to applique down on the long green piece? That will be a lovely addition to the growing composition.

    Beautiful work all around (“Around the World” is a always favorite). Purples always work well for me too. Beautiful flower series!

    I have pictured Chez LeeAnna's as a place that is full of joy, warmth and creativity. If the Passionate Purple Progress Pieces are any indication then I am right :-) Thinking of you today and sending you warm squishy hugs.

    Oh I love the way that the HST's make a wonderful geometric square block. I would keep it that way. All of your stitching is beautiful.

    Hello Leeanna, your blog is new to me, so welcome to the T-Party.
    Your purple quilt is beautiful. I hope you will join us again and show us the finished product.
    The butterfly applique for the strip quilt is beautiful. I have never seen a strip quilt. Please show us what that looks like. I am intrigued.
    You are certainly very talented.
    Happy belated T-Day,
    Lisca

    I love following you down your creative rabbit holes, with the scraps from one project sparking inspiration for the next project. You can do so many different things from HSTs, can’t you?

    Love. love, love the twist effect you achieved with the hst. Reminds me of my early days playing with all the different arrangements for log cabin blocks. Also, I'm a big fan of the off center arrangement. Blown away by all you achieve/work on in a single week.

    Great lozenge blocks. I have not seen that block before! You are pretty awesome to save the triangles for use. I generally throw mine away. I dislike piecing hst's although they are so needed in many quilts.
