Dove in the Window blocks finish at 7.5 inches.
Purple is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color of the month for June. I don't have many purple scraps that are more than crumbs but I think I can manage a few blocks of each of my RSC projects this month.
I also put together a yellow one I had cut out in the yellow month but forgot to sew together.
Buckeye Beauties finish at 6 inches. I've been combining the RSC color of the month with old shirts, plaids, multicolors on black or reds to make these blocks.
Antique Tiles finish at 9 inches.
Then I had scraps left over from making the small Bear Paw quilt in purple and blues I blogged about yesterday so I used those scraps to make single Bear Paws for the Parts Department. That is what I have started making if I have leftover 4.5 and 2.5 inch scraps from another project. In the olden days I used to throw those leftovers into scrap bins sorted by scrap width. But I emptied most of those bins so now try to use leftover scraps as I go to make Parts.
2.5 inch leftover scraps also get combined with neutral scraps and are made into Nine Patches for the Parts Department.

nice progress - lovely purples
Purples are looking lovely.
All great blocks but I love the single Bear Paws. Your Parts Department will be full of exciting blocks for future quilts.
Amazing selection of PURPLE scraps, Cathy!! Those Bear Paw parts really caught my attention. I've never thought of pairing those colors. LOVE it!!
I think you had a lot of purple scraps! Nice additions to all your projects. Your Parts Department must be fascinating!
You found some pretty purples! I love those single Bear Paws - they will be handy to have!
You always have such great RSC blocks that sew into wonderful quilts. Thanks for all the inspiration, happy stitching!
Fabulous blocks all! Bit and pieces, be gone! Your parts department must have quite the inventory!
OWO Look at these blocks! You have a lot of pretty purples, Cathy. Love the Bear paws blocks.
Happy weekend.
You have used up lots of purple scraps this week for your blocks. Great blocks
You have certainly whipped up a great variety of purple blocks. Parts Department, I love that term!
When I grow up , I want to be just like you and use up my scraps as I make them. Not there yet, but I'm working on it. Made myself go cut block parts for some retreat projects despite the heat and cut the leftovers for 4 patches (I should also do some nine patches, now that you've remind me). Not sure any cutting will get done today as it's going to hit 90, but tomorrow is a sew day at a house with AC. Phew.

You've got the best looking parts department! Not to mention a whole passel of pretty purple blocks!
I am loving your purple blocks. xx
You sure managed to get a lot of purple beauties together during this first week of June. Good for you. Love the shirting blocks.
