En Provence quilt progress...

Hi everyone, 

The month is almost over. Time is just flying by. It's crazy!
I don't seem to be getting as much done as I want. But, I've been tired a lot lately, and I think it has a lot to do with the weather. It's been a mild January. We've had a lot of rain, instead of snow. It's been cloudy, humid and just plain crappy. I like snow. It brightens everything up.  The constant change in air pressure has caused me to get a lot of migraines. 
Let's hope February is nicer. 

Here's my progress of my En Provence quilt. I only have a picture of four blocks, but I have five blocks completed. 
I changed the colours a bit from Bonnie's. This quilt is for my daughter, so I used colours she liked. I have five other blocks prepped. I'll keep working on it.  

I was hoping to get more done, but life happens. I'm just glad this project is moving forward.

RSC 2017, week #4 - purple

I did quite well this month with my purple blocks. 

I finished 30 spool blocks. 
These are 3.5 inch blocks, made from my 1.5 inch strips.  
These blocks are so cute. I love these. 

I also made four 16-patch variation blocks. These used up 2.5 inch squares, and the block is 12.5 inches. 
I really like these blocks and the secondary pattern it creates. 

I then decided to start making some 6.5 inch plus blocks. 
These were also made with 2.5 inch squares and 1.5 inch strips. I only have three of these made. I will need to make more. But that's okay. These are easy and fast to make. 

 I'm really enjoying participating in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge this year.  I hope you like my January blocks. Now I'm excited to see what next months colour is. 

Go see http://superscrappy.blogspot.ca to see what the others are making.
