August RSC2020 color=purple

So here’s all my purple August work. There turned out to be lots of purple sewing after the lean July blue month. Rainbow Stairsteps based on a layout by Julie. This project is zipping along with 8 blocks done now. So fun.

Here are the blue & purple blocks for the Alison Glass Sun Print 2016 project. Last month I didn’t make the blue because I thought there weren’t any in the kit & never got the box out, so when I went for the purples this month I was surprised to find blue. (eyeroll) So lots done this month.

Tumbling Strings is inspired by a selvage quilt by Cathy and got a purple row added to some of the rows already finished.

We got to a month that needed crazy patch blocks! These will be cut into small blocks & used to create End of the Rainbow from Melissa Corry’s Irish Chain Quilts book.

Here are two more Bonnie Hunter Sandcastle blocks in purple. This is my current L&E project. I have the string sections & 4-patches made, so I’m putting them together as L&E’s.

I made 6 of the checkerboard blocks for my low priority project that will drift into 2021. It wasn’t in my original plan so I’m fine with that. One day I’ll just decide I want to focus on it & it will get done.
