Bottled Rainbows: Plum Block & Your Creations

This post is part of a series Bottled Rainbows {ticker tape quilt along}. You can join in anytime. We're going at a leisurely pace and using up our scraps! Please see this page for links to all posts.

You know, purple gets a lot of flack.  But I think the main sticking point for folks is crayon purple.  It's a virtually un-wearable color (I know because we once tried to sell a crayon purple top at my maternity boutique.  Yeah, not so much).  But this particular shade of violet-plummy purple.  It really is quite lovely!

Every time I finish a Bottled Rainbow block, I positively crave to make another.  This block makes me wish for the Eggplant block.  They're going to be just stunning together!

These are some of my favorite scraps.  That fawn is so sweet!  And a lovely little sofa from Tufted Tweets sprinkled with Anna Maria Horner goodness.

You'll notice I always use solids in my Bottled Rainbow mosaics.  I think it adds a certain richness.  Also, I tend to have more solid scraps than anything, for some reason.  Hey, look at that rabbit?  Doesn't he strike you as odd?  I think he's cooking up some clever little scheme.

So that's my 6th block for Bottled Rainbows.  While I've been meandering along the Bottled Rainbow path, some of you have been lots more industrious.  Here's a lovely set of blocks made by KelbySews:

And another complete rainbow, this time by Don't Call Me Betsy:

It's a total treat to look through each block in our photo pool!  And the comments and discussion - it's nice to really be getting to know you!  Thanks for joining in and sharing your work. 

I think I'll leave you with this lime green cutie by Marci Girl Designs:

Don't change a thing, Marci. It's perfect!
