It has been a very productive month for using up the purple scraps kicking around my sewing room. The pumpkin seed blocks have re-emerged. I don't know why since I thought I was done making those, but I'm working on 6 more to hand applique.

Then 3 scrappy sprouts blocks appeared for my fabric garden.
But then the fun really started!
I cut 125 squares and 20 strips to make another Mad City Mama block. I finally figured out what I didn't like about my first block and had an idea of how to make me like the block more. It's always a relief when a project sorts itself out and I know what I'm supposed to be doing!

Here's the finished purple version. I really like the centre block, and the light purple star corners. So then I went back to the blue block and started to deconstruct it to remove the yellow pieces and replace them with light blue.

ReplyDeleteThe MCM looks great. You are more patient than I, though, to do that deconstructing!
The Mad City Mama blocks are going to make a great quilt! How smart to do one every month instead of having to do the whole quilt at once! Looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love the MCM block and your(bean?)sprouts look delicious.
