\"Purple<\/a>
Purple strip blocks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I worked the other night while DH was out on clearing out my purple scrap bin. This resulted in a new set of blocks for BAM’s community quilting project.<\/p>\n

There are a couple of duplicates as I had some long strips that resulted in two blocks.<\/p>\n

There are also a lot of light scraps – lavender and very light purple. I was surprised at the variation in color. I don’t think I am a strictly dark purple lover.<\/p>\n

I also made 6 more blocks than I did for the Green Strip quilt<\/a>. I was on a roll and had the blocks in process before I realized how far along I was. It will be a slightly larger quilt. I haven’t decided what color to put with it for the plain blocks (I am using the same design as the Green Strip quilt). Chartreuse is across from purple on the color wheel I use<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I don’t feel like I used up enough of the purple scraps. The bin is definitely more empty, but still not empty enough. I even sorted out some super small pieces that would be much better as pet bed filling. Still I need to make more headway on purple scraps. Another similar quilt? Should I make this one larger?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
