I did a little playing with purple scraps this month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. My initial thought when I looked through my purple scrap/yardage drawer was that it was time to make a mostly purple scrap quilt. There are lots of chunks of purple fabric just waiting to get used up. Unfortunately, the thought didn't evolve into a plan, so no purple scrap quilt has gotten started.
On the other hand, I did manage to make two Sugar Loaf blocks using purple scrap chunks.
One lavender Sugar Loaf block.
And one darker purple block.
The Flashes of Brilliance quilt calls for 25 blocks. I've completed 12 so far, using the RSC monthly colors.
The scraps from cutting the Sugar Loaf blocks are great for making Easy Breezy blocks.
While I had purple on the brain, I remembered a quilt kit I had purchased from the Quilted Owl (alas, now closed) several years ago.

The quilt pattern, Pyramid, is from the book Traditional Fat Quarter Quilts by Monique Dillard.
The fabrics are from a collection called New Orleans 1850 by Newcastle Fabrics.
I got all the quilt parts and pieces cut out this week. So I guess instead of making a purple scrap quilt, I'll be making a purple-by-design quilt. I love the color purple, so I'm a happy camper either way!
