Wrong Guess

I had guessed last month that purple would be chosen for this month's rainbow colour challenge but I was wrong - it was light blue.     After giving it careful consideration I decided to go with purple and make up my 4 curved log cabin blocks which was my nominated OMG for August.


I was then spurred on to get out all my other curved log cabin blocks that have been completed each month since January and this is what they look like.

 
They are in no particular order and as you can see there is a gap to be filled in.    At this stage my thoughts are to make one more set of 4 curved blocks, then proceed to join them up and complete the quilt using the quilt as you go method.    I will trial a few colours to see what will  make up the last block to fit in best with the rest.

In keeping with the purple theme a batch of  blueberry muffins were made to enjoy with a cup of coffee.


During the week a friend of mine whose health is far from good "gifted" me a bag of fabric that she had intended to sew up as dresses for herself but time got away and her circumstances have now changed. 


The fabric is not suitable for quilting but the pieces are fairly large - 2 to 3 metres in each piece - and they will sew up beautifully into dresses for the charity that I sew for.  

Linking with Finished or Not Finished Friday.
                      So Scrappy 
                      OMG

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all

    Nice block! I also guessed purple, but only made the one block before realising my mistake and making some blue ones. All your blocks together look great; have fun deciding on the layout.

    The purple block looks good in the mix of others. I'm wondering about the missing block, of course!
