It's Purple Month!

 

Purple Coin Block

On Saturdays, I have started joining in with the linky party at the RSC

 

on the So Scrappy blog.

 

There are some wonderful scrappy projects posted in the links today!

 

I made Pink Coin Blocks last month for my 2013 RSC quilt.  My tutorial for this block may be found HERE or on My Tutorials at the top of the page.

 

 

Here are my purple and white scraps cut and organized for my blocks.

 

 

I got three blocks made today before I had to turn off my sewing machine for awhile.  I have some more purple scraps and plan to sew more again next Saturday.

 

Hope to get back to my sewing machine tonight.

 

For now, have a happy, scrappy day!

Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2013

 

I am linking up at the So Scrappy Blog again this week, where there are some very bright and scrappy happy quilts being made.  They are "scrapalicious!"

 

I am pretty happy with the way this is looking so far.  I have had "Coin Quilt" on my "Quilts I Want to Sew List" for some time.

 

I have to other projects in the queue for the remainder of any sewing time today and for tomorrow.

 

Have a happy scrappy quilty day!
