From Purple Scraps

This week's purple scraps turned into: 

X and + blocks that finish at 7.5 inches. 

Double Irish Chains that finish at 9 inches.

Rail Fence blocks that finish at 5 inches and Bit Coin blocks that finish at 6 inches. 

Big Chips and the waste triangles turned into Hourglass blocks. 

I was going to make some Postage Stamp Pandemic blocks but I discovered that I need to go through some scraps and replenish my stash of postage stamp squares.

It's always fun to see what you've made with your scraps this week. I'm a very big fan of your Double Irish chain blocks.

Big chips and Double Irish chain are my favourites but as always you’re making the most of every square inch of fabric.

What a fun eclectic bunch of blocks. I'm not really a purple girl but I think these blocks are very nice. I really like your tiger/jungle quilt in the previous post. It's so energetic.

I have always liked that plus-X block and your purples shine.

Lots to look at here, the chips would be my favourites. But I'm not as dedicated as you, using up waste triangles, mind go in the bin!

Love purple in all its ways. And I took a walk through your garden in your previous post, so peaceful, I'm glad your white roses are doing better, they made me happy.
Have a wonderful day.
