Purple improv shard n.1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As I said the other day<\/a>, I still have a lot of purple scraps. I also found some large purple shards in my purple scrap bin. I immediately pulled these out and have decided to use them for another improv donation top like the Green Thing<\/a>. I can’t say I’ll make a companion quilt to each strip quilt I make, but I have a lot of scraps and this seems like a good way to use them up.<\/p>\n

I know these shards probably started out as potential journal covers. I don’t know why I didn’t finish them, but now they can go to a good home.<\/p>\n

The triangular shard is really strange. I wonder what I was thinking when I made it. Of course, I have to make it into a square or rectangle, so I can use it. I do like it. If I can use lighter purples and lavenders around the triangle, I can preserve the triangle quality of the piece.<\/p>\n

I have already added to the smaller piece shown above the triangular shard, using it as a leader as I was getting towards the end of the strip blockmaking<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The last shard is good sized as well. The three pieces make a nice start to a donation top. They are all purple and that is good, but I hope the shards go together well enough to make something cohesive.<\/p>\n

I do know that I am finding all this purple on my design wall to be oppressive and dark. Perhaps that is my issue with the darker purples? I know I felt like this when I was working on the purple bullseye<\/a>. I do know that I have a good start to the purple donation improv top and that pleases me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
