The blocks for the purple quilt are done, or most of them are. I've some extra strips and ran out of purple. The LQS didn't have any in the right shade, so I ordered some more. Because it totally makes sense that I ordered more fabric to finish a quilt that I started in order to use up the scraps from another quilt, right? (To be fair, I only ordered half a yard and I'll use it all.) In the meantime, the quilt shop did have yellow, though in a slightly darker shade than I'd used for the test picture. I used about half of what I bought, but I am happy nonetheless.
I took a silks class on Saturday and flew on the trapeze today, but despite the incredible soreness, I put the time during the Red Carpet walk and Oscar ceremony (which I have never before watched in it's entirety) to good use. I did a lot of twitching around and I now have enough of these fabrics (and some that I thought might work but didn't, darn online ordering) to make several more quilts in this color scheme. I've got the backing fabric already, but I'm going to work on that later. Now, I'm going back to Hanami, which has been ignored for days.
Love the yellow. Great quilt.
Isn't it always the way when you order on-line you end up with extra that just didn't quite do what you wanted.

Very pretty! If you figure out how knitting and sewing can coexist in one's life, let me know. I've been trying to figure it out since forever.
