That time of the week…...

Yes, Saturday (Sunday here) and time for a post about Purples.

I'm posting  the Mountain Majesty blocks again from last weeks' post, the

colours looked very muddied, this taken on a good day is clearer

but taken on a funny angle!

With this Saturday and two more to go in April I wondered what on earth

I was going to make with purple, I didn't need more purple Mountains but

I love Ohio Stars so I'm making a second quilt.

The one above looked better on point

but it seems I didn't take a photo of that setting

however I think I will go with on point. Six each month set diagonally should make a

good quilt, the blocks are 6" finished.

I'm using up some of my older tiny prints for the background where possible, I have heaps 

going back years and years. My Kaffe scraps just have to be in there

and confession time …… I have just had a delivery of the

new range so I may just have to have some of those in these two quilts.

Don't forget to visit everyone at
the Rainbow Scrap Challenge
I need to play catch-up over the next few weeks to make more of the two
different blocks in Blue, Pink and Yellow!!

The week seems to have flown by and I feel as if I'm back on a roll with my

quilting! The blue hexagon quilt should be all put together in a few days and

not many more H blocks to sew.

As it's a purple month have a look at the tiny cyclamen patch

below - they are actually more pink I know - and

 about three inches high at most. This is just a small patch there are more,
each year after flowering I wait for the seed capsules to mature then

sprinkle under the hydrangeas, they seem to love it there.

We have family coming for dinner tonight so it's time for me to head to the kitchen,
Summer Quiche tonight made with shortcrust pastry, sour cream, shallots, tasty cheese, eggs, courgettes,
basil and of all things - lettuce! It is just delicious and every bit as tasty when cold
for lunch the next day.
