Purple Haze

The Rainbow Scrap Challenge color of the month is PURPLE. 
I started my work with the 2 inch width scrap bin.  I didn't have many purple scraps in there so I cut a 2 inch strip for my Single Wedding Ring blocks from purple scrap chunks.  The blocks finish at 7.5 inches. 
 But these Sixteen Patch blocks all came from the 2 inch scrap bin that I am trying to empty. I think these blocks have been a RSC project for a couple of years so I'm hoping to have 120 of them by year end.  I believe I only have 41 more blocks to go. 

Purple haze, all in my brain
Lately things don't seem the same...

Pretty purple blocks. I have so much fun searching your fabrics to see if I have any matching in my sewing room... not a single one this week. I think I need to go shopping =)

Beautiful PURPLE blocks! I really like the Single Wedding Ring blocks. Lots of cute fabrics in your 16-patches too. Perfect sign-off. Thanks for the chuckle!

Do you start a series of blocks with a quilt layout in mind and therefore an idea of how many blocks you'll make? Or do you make a stack, lay them out, and decide to add, or not add? [Thinking about the SWR purples in this case.]

Love the blocks, and the Hendrix reference. Gotta go dig out my CD!

Lots of lovely purples. I love how purples can range from pale lavender, almost pink, to dark dark nearly brown eggplant. I’m normally a fan of purple, and you have some fabulous ones!

I love those purple wedding ring blocks. That has been a great project this year. The other purples are gorgeous, too!

Lots of pretty purples, isn't it fun to see what you can find in those scrap bins tucked away and forgotten.

I liked the Hendrix reference too, but not as much as I like your yummy purple blocks. You sure have some great scraps!
