Purple Scraps Part II

Overlapped Nine Patch
7.5 inch blocks
Instructions may be found at Klein Meisje Quilts

Purple is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color for July.   For these blocks I combined purple scraps with a solid. 
Dalarna 
6 inch blocks
Another block combining purple scraps with solids. 

A quilt called Dalarna can be found in an issue of Quiltmania (Issue 68, 2008, #4) and was made by Mariet Soethout-Mous.  Her quilt was inspired by a child's quilt found in Asa Wettre's book Old Swedish Quilts. Now I've been inspired by Mariet's Dalarna to make my own version of an Old Swedish Quilt. 


Zip
6 x 9

More purple scraps and solids. 
Again, block instructions can be found at Klein Meisje Quilts

On the left are Indian Hatchet blocks that finish at 4 inches. The corners are all purple.  Then I have some Broken Dishes blocks that finish at 3 inches and some HSTs that finish at 3 inches.  These are made from extra pieces that result from cutting for Dalarna blocks. 

And finally I have some QST Four Patches that finish at 6 inches. When I have enough these will be an alternate block for some Four Patches.

  3. I have never seen the overlapped nine patch pattern before, but I really like it. I might have to try that for my 2 inch squares project next year. It would work great with leaders and enders.
