Scraphappy Saturday - Purples 2

This is the block I chose for the purple row in the row quilt.





and here is an assembly of the row quilt progress so far



It's so liberating to choose a block each month based on your mood at the time. LOL  I may have to make a row quilt every year.  


I ended my purple scraps by working up these 8 wonky log cabin blocks.  After I finished I realized what I didn't like about them  --  the very light pieces are too distracting!  I will try to remember to stay with medium and dark tones next time. 



I'm linking up with Angela at Soscrappy for the RSC14 challenge where you can see what everyone else is making with their purple scraps this month.

Thanks for stopping by!

    I think your wonky log cabin blocks look good with the light areas. All medium & dark might be less interesting. Great looking row quilt blocks!

    what a fantastic quilt! I really like the row by row concept- I've never made a RBR, but someday I will....

    I really like your Row by Row quilt! I like your Log Cabin blocks too! I think the light fabrics give them a more scrappy look. I hope you have a Rainbow Scrap Challenge next year too, I would like to participate. It looks like a fun idea!

    I'm enjoying my row quilt too and was also thinking that maybe I should make one every year!

    the lights are not distracting at all. One needs the lights and darks to add sparkle at the end. You're just too close to it. Your purple row reminds me of mine. I like the row idea for next time!

    I like the distracting light pieces in your wonky blocks -- keeps the eye moving around. Your row quilt is coming along so well. What a nice idea for a quilt
