January is PURPLE scraps

Im continuing to cut purple scraps...the pile is goung down...yes! The block on the left had to be unstitched...don't you LOVE ripping out seams?...so I fixed that block and made another. I was missing the pieced corners. 
Made another purple spool...that's it for this color...the spools will be red, aqua, gold, orange, aqua...all colors.
Digging through my box I found this REALLY old piece of fabric. It's probably about 35 years old. I bought it to make a blouse for my niece when she was 4 or 5...she's in her forties now!
I'd say it's about time this one gets used up.


On to more cutting...and babysitting (today is a Henry day!)

You're welcome. I thought about the same thing...so many scraps and the blocks just aren't using up enough. But it's a start.

This is the first finish of 2023!  I wanted to get one of two "great niece " quilts finished. The top was made last year as part o...
