Scrap Happy Saturday - Purples

Before quilting
Having only this last Saturday in February it was a push to get my purple quilt done.  And it still isn't completely finished.  As someone mentioned when she was making her daughter a purple quilt I didn't have a lot of purples to choose from.  I must not have used a lot of purples in the past.

I chose Leah Day's butterfly feathers to quilt in each block.  The only trouble is her block is only 4 inches square.  Mine is 12 inches square.  I think it looks as close to hers as I can get but as I was quilting the "feathers" they reminded me of fingers and fingernails.  :)


So far I have 7 blocks done.
Not too bad when each block took half an hour to quilt, and a full bobbin!




 EDITED 3/2/2013

This is the finished quilt.  What a spectrum of purples.  I'm calling it "Passionately Purple

    Wow, great quilt. Love that quilting for the blocks. Love how the blocks have the off set sashing.
