Purple is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color for April. Well I finally got around to using some purple scraps this month.
From a few purple scraps 4.5 inches in width:
10 inch Monkey Wrench blocks.
From a few purple scraps 3.5 inches in width:
7.5 inch Monkey Wrench blocks and...
...6 inch Broken Dish blocks,
3 x 5 inch Switch Plate blocks,
3 inch Snowballs.
In the "Turning Something Small Into Something Larger" category I have turned some little 3 inch Broken Dishes blocks into 7.5 inch Squared Away blocks and...
...turned some 3 inch Economy Blocks into 6.5 inch Stars and...
...turned some 3 inch Economy Blocks into 6 inch I Spy Happy Blocks.
Stacks of 5 inch squares of purple and an alternate color were made into cute little 3 inch Old Italian blocks using a stack, whack and shuffle method.
2 inch purple squares were used as the corners for a few 4 inch Indian Hatchet blocks and then a few 2 inch scraps were made into 3 inch Bow Tie blocks.
And now it is time to put the purple scraps away and see what the RSC color for May will be.

Love all your purple blocks! Your idea of making smaller units bigger ones is very appealing.
I love the monkey wrench blocks
perfectly purple potpourri! love your alliterations and blocks!!
Using your economy blocks inside of the stars and happy blocks is a great idea! Lots of fun things going on in your sewing room, Cathy!
What a lot of purple blocks you made at the last minute.
Lots of purple fun, Cathy.
Lots of cute blocks here. Such a good idea to make some of your tiny blocks into different larger blocks.
lots of beautiful purples going on there,it's always fun as well as rewarding to create blocks into other block creations
Wow! You got a lot of purple sewn up! Great progress.
Love them, all of them. I am dying to make a bunch of churndashes. The old italian block is wonderful in 3", I don't know if I could make them not wonky but look like yours.
I know these are just the seeds for your quilting garden!
