I've not alot to show for this week. I began by cutting the kit for a very large baby quilt and ended up sewing it together into a flimsy 54 x 66. It is nicely folded on a hanger and didn't get a photo, so will wait till I get it quilted.
I spent a bit of an afternoon fussing over purple scraps to make up these 2 townhouses. I'm not thrilled with how they turned out, but they will get put with my collection of paper pieces houses for now.

I made this little top during last years' purple month May, 2025. Here is the original post Scrapbox Quilts: Purple Tops Q4K.
Today I took a complete detour from my ongoing projects to quilt this up for a finish. It measures 38 x 40. I free motion quilted it with straight lines diagonally crosshatched thru the blocks with Glide Lavender thread, top and bobbin. The back is a tula pink print. I had to add another piece to make it wide enough. Nice Pellon 80/20 batting. This one is lightly quilted for cuddly babies.
The colors are much more vibrant than they appear here. The photo was taken outside but the sun was shining.

This week I made 3 new blocks from the purple scrap bin. Some refer to this block as the 4 Corners block. I call it my 4 Corners Ohio block. These blocks take longer to dig and cut for appropriate color scraps than it does to sew them up. They are so cute at 6" tho. I especially love the ones that are totally scrappy. Isn't it funny that you have to actually do these things to determine your preference and style.
I also pulled a couple leftover strips of purple and yellow and made a few 16 patch blocks.
Do you have unusual fabric prints in your stash that you're unsure what to do with? I had this wild psychedelic print that finally said it might flow nicely cut up for a Spring Splash quilt. Pattern: Spring Splash | Quilting Daily ( there is a link to the pdf file) I made one years ago and always had it in my mind to make more.
So I had to cut up a kit for the project to have handy. Yesterday I went and stitched it together! Doesn't that always happen, if the units are ready to sew, we can't stop the process. AND I've had another pair of fabrics that is not suitable for children's taste, so I cut this one up into another kit! It can go to a retirement home when it's finished.
Here is the 'wild' one - I'm calling it Spring Splash on Steroids. I still have some of this fabric left, I may put it in a halloween quilt. The background fabric looks white but it is actually a celery green batik. My photos were taken indoors.
