It was mostly in short bursts of time, but more purple came out to play this week.
Most important was getting the Who Found the Catnip block finished. That middle kitty is the most fun, and nearly used up the little scrap I had left. I'm in love with these blocks.
OK - yes, I got totally carried away with the Tulip Swirl blocks. There were so many pretty purple chunks in the scrap bag and I just kept cutting. LOL There is no plan yet for these 4" blocks, but they'll work nicely somewhere. There are still a few parts and pieces in other colors laying on the design board, waiting to be sewn. And there is a good sized stack in a small basket ready to become happy scrappy blocks.
One Snail Trail block a day, and these 4 were finally done and off the design board they occupied. The top lighter purple is actually a Halloween print. The dark one here is a batik that looks kind of like corduroy.
This second dark one is also a batik. I'm actually surprised at just how much purple I have in my stash and in my scraps.
In an effort to catch up with the Ticker Tape blocks, I got 5 red ones made this week. That brings red up to the 9 I want for each color. A 9th yellow one and 3 more pink ones also were added to the collection. Since I want 9 of each - for now - I'll keep working on them. There is a big collection of patriotic RWB Ticker Tape blocks too.

CUTE cat nip block, Sara. I've been playing in my purples too. I have to work on my houses this week.
You were in scrappy heaven with all these pretty blocks, especially the purples.
The cats are darling....can't wait to see your whole collection!
Those cats are the BOMB! What personalities the fabrics give each one! You sure used a lot of purple so far this month. Good for you!

I love those cats - especially that center one! It will be fun to see what you do with the ticker tape blocks, too. They're going to make a fun design!
You have lots to show this week, including more of those wonderful cat blocks. Everyone seems to love them.

Cute cats Sara! They will make a great quilt.
What a lovely collection of PURPLE blocks this week, Sara!
I have been waiting for those adorable purple cats! So cute! Pretty purple blocks, and yes, it is easy to get carried away making blocks using fabrics/colors we love.
You definitely made the most of your purple scraps. The Cat Nip blocks are such fun. The purple ones may be my favorite kitties so far.
Beautiful blocks--I like the cat ones! You are on a roll!
You're right-you have lots of fun purples! Love those purple cats. Not sure why they look so fun in that color, but they do. All the other blocks you got done are just great!
