Purple, purple, purple

Purple is my future SiL's favorite color, so there's a purple apron wrapped up and ready for her shower today!  Yay!

I managed to cut a 4" strip from all my purples and reduced a small pile entirely to scraps, as they were much smaller than a fat quarter and weren't doing me any good in their current state.  Now I have plenty of lovely purples to use for the month!

I also cut out all the pieces for my Carrie Nation blocks and 6 (I think) sampler blocks.  Once I finish the crunch time involved in Easter clothes sewing (half done!), I will be able to whip out some lovely purple creations.  This week, I only managed two sampler blocks.

In the meantime, it's Bear Cub Q's birthday tomorrow, and he requested a rainbow cake.  I'm not sure he knows what he wants, so this will make him happy!

Off to frost!

Creative baking. I don't know what I would have done with that request. I think it would have some interesting frosting but this looks like so much more fun. You certainly take time to make everyone feel special.

Happy late birthday to Q! The cake looks really neat.
Love your purple fabrics... smart to have them all cut up and ready to use.

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
