Hi Quilting Friends,
The Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for September is PURPLE, my favorite color. My PURPLE scrappy basket is literally overflowing, so it was no problem to find plenty of pieces for my projects.
Signature Squares
Here are the 20 PURPLE blocks that I made from my scraps for September.
The current block count is 184, so I could make a 39″ square quilt if I was ready to do it, but I think I’ll keep on making blocks instead. I’m on the lookout for interesting layout options as I think about making this quilt.
In case you’re wondering, my injured foot is NOT broken. The metatarsal bone is most likely bruised and there’s some soft tissue damage to the area, according to the orthopedic doctor. I’ll be in the boot or a post-op shoe for at least 4 more weeks, and that’s the extent of it if all goes well. I’m still moving slowly, but now I know what I need to do (and NOT do) to ensure proper healing.
Thanks for visiting! You can click the links below for more “eye candy”.
Happy quilting,
Sharon

So many pretty purples! Hope your foot is healing well and the hobbling isn’t too awkward. At least you can still sew!

Thank you! I’m taking it slow and easy here, which is not my natural state. The sewing makes a nice break between naps and resting. 😁

I am healing from a stress fracture in my 2nd metatarsal that went a bit off the rails. I spent 3 months in the post-op shoe, with 7 weeks of that in a wheelchair to be non-weightbearing. I’ve been in regular shoes for a week now, hallelujah. Hope your recovery is faster than mine since you don’t have a break. Good luck!

Thank you! It sounds like you dealt with a lot during recovery, and it is great that you’re nearly back to normal now. Honestly, I’m a little stir crazy after just 2 weeks, but I’m trying to be good and let it rest so I can heal.

Thank you! It has been a couple of weeks now. I’m not great at this recuperation thing, but I’m trying to behave myself.

Oh my – those purples are so pretty, especially arranged the way you have them. I’m interested to see how they all come together with the other colors. They should make a gorgeous quilt.
