It's
Scrap Happy Saturday and the color for the Feb. Rainbow Scrap Challenge is purple. I think I've about used up all my purple scraps in just one week and in 9 - six inch blocks. I'll be using them for a children's quilt for Wrap-a-Smile or Wrap-Them-in-Love. I'll probably mix them with red scrap blocks so used the traditional red center in the wonky log cabin blocks.
Maybe If I work super fast (never) I will have some purple scraps left over from my Pansy Patch blocks - 4 down and 234? to go. I have about 25 or so different pansy fabrics but will probably mix some butterfly fabrics in there too. I've been meaning to do something with these pansy fabrics for years and now is the time to make a Queen-sized quilt for my bed. I'm sure my husband won't mind sleeping under pansies! (I have pansy curtains, pansy pillowcases, pansy crazy quilt wall hanging and vintage pansy postcards attached all along the top of the wall like a wallpaper border). I love pansies.
I first thought I would use the pansy fabric in 4 inch butterfly blocks with blue background to represent sky and assemble them together into a 8 inch block along with two posy/african violet blocks with green backgrounds to represent ground. Not sure I like that idea now that I've tried it.

I love pansies too... I had pansy wallpaper in our last home on one wall of the kitchen & eating area and LOVED it. I'll admit to a stash of pansy fabrics too waiting for the perfect project. Yours look great!
I love pansies, too. Cute BUTTERFLIES! I love everything you have done. All your blocks. Delightful post : )
Great blocks. Love how you put that little smack of red in with the purple. So fun and so cheery.
You really do love pansies. What a fun collection of blocks this month. Congratulations on using up all your purple.
Wow, love those pansies.
Very cool scrappy blocks. I had no idea there were that many pansy fabrics!
So, if I had to guess, I would say you love pansies? LOL!!! What a fun explosion of purple yumminess on your blog today :*)
hmmm. I wonder what your favorite flower is? So many pretty fabrics. Love your butterfly and pansy blocks. So cute.
