Rainbow Scrap Challenge - a Purple Finish!!!

If you stopped by yesterday, I am going to ask you to make sure you are sitting down, and you have no liquids in your hand.... seriously.....  ready???



I have another                        FINISH!!!



Is that just not the craziest thing you have heard in a long time from me????

At the beginning of the month - when Angela announced purple - I remembered my Purple blocks from the 2015 RSC challenge - and they said they wanted to be a quilt.... and when fabric talks....


You had better quit drinkin'   ... just saying!!!



The wind was blowing again when it came time to try to photograph this one
So I hid behind one of our fences.

Did you know that at times, even that doesn't stop the wind????


My Artsy Fartsy Shots
I quilted these spirally Feathers all over it
And I love the texture


And because you need to see it in its full glory again
Here you go
( plus I took 45 photos)



The deets
The block

All Purple 30's Repro prints
Border - Got that at Devils Lake, ND on a fishing trip
 (yep, you know where I went)

Size 60in x 60in
