I don't like that purple block blob on the bottom row, so I'll dissect and reconstruct that one. I think it needs more dark purple and more black.
I must admit to feeling very self righteous as I am sewing these blocks, because they are all made from the scrap bin. Very old fabrics are being given new life and finally getting into a quilt top.

It's looking great!! The blues pop!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use up old scraps! :0)
ReplyDeleteLove the way this quilt is growing. Perfect use of your scrap bin!
ReplyDeleteLooking wonderful Kathy! I agree with you on the purple blog, as well as adding in some more deep purple to give it some punch :) Doesn't it feel marvelous to make something so beautiful out of basically "trash"? I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteThis project is coming along nicely! Your scrap bin will soon be empty....lol!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great project to use up scrappy bits - it looks great!
ReplyDeleteOkay so please tell me, when do you sleep? I can't believe you have so many blocks made already. WOW. They look good.
ReplyDeleteI agree that purple/blue one has to be changed a bit! I am not sure self righteous is the word to use....maybe thrifty is! That means it is a free quilt...right???? Happy Monday sewing!
ReplyDeleteLooking good. I don't know why but I always love the simple blocks. Going to be so pretty when you are finished.
ReplyDeleteI love that the center squares are all different colors, and that some have more than one square. Makes it so much more interesting. Love the way this is turning out.
ReplyDeleteIt's ok to be choosy with your scraps. The purple one does scream a bit. Have fun with making the rest for this scrappy quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous!! It's so much fun to watch it grow.
ReplyDeleteThat looks wonderful. I agree with you on the purple one.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! I love it--all of that scrappy goodness. Had to LOL at your "self-righteous" attitude. Been there/done that! : )
ReplyDeleteWhat a great scrap project . . . go right ahead and feel good about it!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a great feeling to use up scraps! Great looking blocks.:)
ReplyDeleteThis is looking great! I agree with you on the purple blob block. I think it needs some more contrast within the block.
ReplyDeleteGood for you to use your scraps! It's a 'free' quilt that way.
ReplyDeleteLooking good! Doesn't it feel great to use up those extra bits others would throw out? Enjoy your sewing.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the scrap bin on this one. No better way to celebrate using up the oldies than to add a little bit of new to the collection. Don't want to run out of fabric after all.
ReplyDeleteLove your Rail Fence blocks! The purple one does stand out a bit. Kayaking sure looks like fun! What a peaceful lake.
ReplyDeleteI love your scrappy rail fence quilt. I think the colors look good, including the purple one. Hope it helps to empty your scrap bin, but if you are like me, they never seem to go down very fast.
ReplyDeletevery nice I do like the purple but it does draw the eye away from the other blocks
ReplyDeleteWhat a great block to use up scraps. Those are "free" quilts, so it shouldn't be added to your "new" list as it uses up old stuff.
