I got two pansy blocks done. I knew I could make a better pansy block then the sad one from last week. I had a comment from Paddilous who sent me this Pansy PDF link. I did not have many 4 1/2 squares needed but I did have the 2 1/2" square and triangles that I could use. So yes, I changed it a bit. I am happy with the flowers now.
I have added today's post to Soscrappy's Scrap Saturday and I signed up for Friday Night Sew In with Heidi. I did get some of the blocks done Friday. I sew most Friday nights.

I got some Spools done this month. This block is a Bonnie Hunter Leaders and Enders Challenge. I have about 12 more cut out to do and to finish up in the last few days of February. What colour will be next for March? I am going to take a guess at Red. Why Red, because Angela has started making Red Dear Jane blocks. Maybe I will be Wrong and it will be Green for St Patrick's Days.
If you want to join in the fun check out the RSC13.

This weekend is the Edmonton Orchid Show. I went Friday afternoon and bought two new plants and some new potting bark. I replanted about 5 of my older orchids when I got home. The two new plants are not flowering but maybe next year. One plant is on the far right and is attached to bark and not in a pot. I need to find a spot to hang that one.
Oh...orchids! I was given one when my DH died and it bloomed till last year. I think it was over-moist because... R.I.P. :-(
ReplyDeleteP.S. the new pansy blocks are wonderful!
SO many pretty purple blocks. The pansies look just great to me, though the butterflies are even happier. As to the color ..... you will have to keep guessing......
ReplyDeleteGreat projects! I hope you're right about the red...I have tons of red scraps between QOVs and Christmas! Do you think there's any chance we could get Angela to spill the beans early this month (since she didn't exactly announce the color purple until after she was posting her blocks? And it is the last Saturday!?!? Come on Angela...tell us...LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm guess next month's color will be red, too. Love all your purple blocks - I'm always amazed by what you accomplish each week!
ReplyDeleteYou have such beautiful blocks here! Especially love the pansies and the bowties. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love the pansy blocks, I may have to try some of those. They have always one of my favourite flowers and Uncle Dave's favorite.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from FNSI - love all the purple blocks. Might be a bit bias though as purple is my favorite color.
ReplyDeleteYou and I must be separated twins! I have orchids, too. Some have bloomed, but most haven't. Love your pansies, too.

Oh yes! Your pansy blocks positively bloom with gorgeousness!!! Love the way they move :*) Great job using up those purple scraps - lots of variety and fun projects!
ReplyDeleteThose butterflies are so cute!
ReplyDeleteSo many lovely purple blocks. Wow. Love all of them!
ReplyDeleteYour pansy blocks look wonderful Cathy :0) as do your spool blocks and the butterfly blocks and 16 patches. You have done so much with this month's colour. It's so exciting waiting for the new colour challenge. It could be orange too... lots of orange DJ blocks on Angela's block on Sunday. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the spools and butterflies,
