RSC Purples - Part 3




A couple of weeks ago,
I shared the beginnings of this

After being stitched, pressed, and trimmed,
I had a decent stack of liberated hourglass blocks.





Given the random nature of the string triangles,
there wasn't a whole lot of "dithering"
when it came time to lay out the blocks.





I am SO very glad I changed to the purple!





Max and I quilted the piece
using uneven straight lines
and deep purple thread.

You can see a bit of the binding above.





Here is a photo of the quilt's back
including the four fast finish triangles
that will be used for hanging.




And here's a photo of the front.

20" tall x 24" wide

I've named this one Offcuts.

Oh I love to see scrappy made fabric in a quilt! It looks terrific with the purple and what a fun back. I could just sew scraps together forever!

Purple was such a good choice for this quilt.

I love the purple, it pulls all the scraps together nicely. I notice that you pressed the seams open, it would have made the quilting much easier.

You can never go wrong with purple!
