The Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for June has been purple. I used most of my purple scrap chunks making what RSC blocks I could and then decided to move on to a UFO that has purple in it. Back in 2016 I won a Block Lotto. About 50 Split Nine Patches made their way to my doorstep.
There were specific instructions as to how to assemble the blocks with a dark, light and two medium value fabrics in grays and purples.
Somewhere along the line I made up pieces including the HSTs for 20 more blocks.
So I sewed up those 20 blocks.
And then I decided 120 six inch blocks would make a nice sized donation quilt with blocks in a 10 x 12 layout. So I made up the pieces for about 45 more blocks.
Now I am looking forward to the RSC color for July.
An interesting colour combination in the lotto blocks; have fun putting the blocks together! I'm amazed you still have scraps left.
ReplyDeleteGray and purple are a pretty combination! I love the design those split 9 patches make!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on moving this one forward. I love the colour combo. Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the split nines! I have an RSC quilt to make of them as soon as we hit orange and I can sew up the final color I need. Ha! Nothing keeping me from doing that whenever I want except zillions of other scraps and UFOs. Will yours be done in just purples and grays?
ReplyDeleteThat will make a beautiful quilt!
ReplyDeleteOnly 45 more to go!
Those are really pretty fabrics! Looking forward to see that quilt finished. ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteHow fortunate to have those purple Split nines tucked away. Looks as though you’ll have a lovely quilt when they’re all sewn up.
ReplyDeletePurple and grey go well together. What a pretty quilt they will make.
ReplyDeleteGood on you, it's always rather satisfying to work on an old UFO, especially if it's been forgotten for some time.
ReplyDeleteWell at your speed, that'll keep you busy for a couple of minutes...
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing this one when it's done!
Those blocks are really neat! it will make a cool quilt!
ReplyDeleteYou are on a roll. You will have that done in no time at all! You will feel really good when you finish it. One more down!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing this one finished! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of Split 9-Patch blocks! And only 45 more to go! How funny! You've still got a couple more days of "purple" to get them done!
