Halfway through the year already!!! That means we're on color #7 already, and I dug right into the purples with glee this week. Once I pulled out the purple scrap bin, a lot of cutting happened all at once. I may have gotten carried away with purple and July is just beginning.
The first purple blocks were the Buckeye Beauty. I'm hoping to have enough of these blocks now to start assembling the quilt top. I haven't counted them yet but I'm getting close I think. I've been sewing these individual blocks into 4-sies. By the end of July, I'm hoping to have a completed flimsy of Buckeye Beauty.
Three purple Give It a Whirl blocks came next. There are 3 of each color so far, meaning there are 21 of these. They add up quickly.
Then came some Hollow-9 blocks, and a couple of string triangles.
And finally just 1 Brighten block was added to that collection.
I'm not worried about having nothing purple to make the rest of the month however, because there are other RSC block sets hanging in the closet that need purple. And if I were to look through the UFOs, I'm sure there is purple there too.
There is a LOT MORE inspiration out there in the RSC blog posts.

purple is one color I have found I am low on
You are on a roll with purple, Sara! Your blocks all look great. I always love seeing your Give it a Whirl blocks. They're pretty in every color!
I really like the Brighten block! A need to add that one to my list!
You are off to a good start with the purples. That's quite a few block patterns you've got going. I'm rather partial to the Give It a Whirl Blocks.
Wow, you have gotten a great start on purple already! And you can add to past projects for the win! Sounds like your July will be great.
What a great collection of purple blocks! And it's so smart to start sewing some together as you go. Lovely inspiration!
My favorite color, so it was really fun checking out which purples you were working with!
You've got some pretty purples in those blocks.
Funny how quickly so many of us have made our purple blocks! I like all the ones you're working on this year.
That Brighten block is great and WOW, you have an amazing start with your purple blocks!
Such pretty blocks!
