ScrapHappy Saturday - Purple

The purple wall is coming along slowly.   
Most of last weekend I spent quilting up these Carpenter Star blocks from last year's RSC.  

I bought a piece of wide backing fabric and then ended up using enough up on the front that I had to add a strip to the back to make sure it would be long enough.  I used purple in honor of March.  Evenings this week were spent sewing the purple binding so this one if officially done!  I was waiting to get a nice outdoor photo shoot of the finished quilt, but it is wet and dreary outside right now.  

 There is still time to get a bit more done with purple.   Next Saturday is still part of March.  I hope your purple projects are coming along nicely.

Congratulations on your Carpenter Star finish. Love how the bonus strip to extend the backing ties into this month's color.
