You can find the paper pieced pattern by Kristy over at Quilt Play.
It is "purple" or "violet"?
In my quilty adventures I have met some quilters who don't like "the P word", and always use "Violet" to describe this colour.
Whatever you call it, I really like this block and enjoyed using up some lighter scraps of Purple/Violet. Each block uses 14 different scraps plus the background fabric.
Here are the 7 blocks I have sewn so far. Looking forward to adding in some green, yellow and red blocks this year.
It is so fun to see the variety of scrappy projects the rainbow quilters are making this year. Hop over and check it out at SoScrappy's.
These are looking really good. I can't wait to see a whole quilt of them!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. What a clever idea!
ReplyDeleteAll your blocks together look just great. Can't wait to see other colors added, too.
ReplyDeleteI think violet is the only shade that exists as a true wavelength of light on the color spectrum. Purple is a tone of violet which could be a pigment but not a true color of light. Either way, both of your blocks are lovely. Thanks for joining in the fun.
ReplyDeleteVery Cute! Love your colors and love that block!
ReplyDeleteThese blocks are so pretty! Love them no matter what you call them...
ReplyDeleteLove your blocks, Kathy. Come on over and see mine on my banner. I'm going to add two more rows at the bottom to make a better quilt shape.
ReplyDeleteAre you using a varigated off white for the ribs? It is quite nice.

I love purple. Doesn't matter what you call it. These blocks are so interesting to the eye. There seems to be movement as they play off of each other. What a quilt they will make!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are fabulous!
ReplyDeletemmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....I just love these blocks!! Why didn't I do this one?????
ReplyDeleteGreat violet block. I always have trouble spelling and call it purple more because I can spell it better. But this new block is a good example of violet. I do not have to many violets in my scraps left, mostly dark purple. Love your project.
ReplyDeleteLove your blocks! A perfect way to display some gorgeous fabrics!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your palm blocks, Kathy. Terri at Quiltncards is making rainbow palm blocks this year, too. I going to enjoy watching you two make these blocks each month this year!
ReplyDeleteLove this block! It's going to be a gorgeous quilt when you get them all made and set.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! These palm branches are looking wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLove all of them together. You are doing a great job on them.
