Purple Hearts

Purple Hearts
This week I had fun sorting through my purple scraps and picking fabrics to make my little purple hearts for this Saturday’s Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  Then my Friday evening was spent sewing the little hearts.  My daughter’s favourite colour is purple, and she loves hearts, I believe she has claimed this quilt - I did tell her that this is part of a bigger Rainbow of Hearts quilt.

Paint Box & ScrappyTripAlong ready to go
After I got the little hearts pieced I continued to sort and cut purple scraps (where did they all come from?)  for my paintbox and scrappytripalong blocks for the upcoming Saturday’s of February.  There is also a pile of purple scraps waiting to be managed, maybe next week.

Need some Scrap Management

There are so many participants in the RSC2013, have a look at what everyone is doing at soscrappy, you might be inspired to sew along with us.

    You have a wonderful assortment of purple fabrics. Your little hearts are adorable - I can see why your daughter would like a quilt made from them.

    Scraps do seem to keep coming out of nowhere. Glad you are getting them tamed. Pretty hearts -- I can see why your daughter wants them.

    Edith ... I love your purple heart blocks. I may have to make a few of these myself. I made a two scrappy heart blcoks last month and one of them has gone into the backing of another quilt, but I am thinking if I make a purple one I will be on my way to making a scrappy rainbow heart quilt. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Thanks, also, for stopping by my blog and leaving a kind comment. I am really enjoying being a part of the RSC this year ... :) Pat

    Great heart blocks. I feel it takes so much time to sort and manage the scraps.
