week 1 purple scraps

 The applique for my hollow nine rainbow scrap challenge has waited a long time to proceed. Despite the fact that it has even been on the 5 quilt list for at least a year. This week, I have at least added the stems to four sides of the quilt. I finished the top for stack and whack leaves. which I thought would take both August and September. I think this older ufo will work for September.


I took some scraps to Friday sew and cut more pieces for crackers and jam. It is easier to precut the sizes than to just dig for a suitable sized scrap. I started making purple blocks.







I made a start with square play. My goal is 30 and I have 24.


I started with 2 1/2 inch purple scraps to make tulip swirl


16 are done

  7. Lots of fun blocks to play with this week. I too prefer to cut to size than to dive in the scrap bins hoping to find the right size pieces. Waste of time. Good luck with Hollow 9 borders. ;^)
