Goodbye RSC GREEN March - Welcome RSC PURPLE April!
It has been a busy month after I decided making the green quilt. First I thought of Rail Fence, but after pondering about that, I went for scrappy Churn Dash blocks (12" finished). Those blocks are easy and fast to make. My goal for March was to make and finish the quilt, and so I did!

Scrappy Churn Dash quilt, approximately 72 x 96 inches / 183 x 244 cm

I had sew much fun piecing the backing! A couple of crumb blocks from table scraps and bits and pieces of green. I always dread whether the four sides become straight and I must say I'm very happy with this one.

Quilted in an allover meandering design using Aurifil #2902 50 wt Light Laurel Green.
The binding is Kaufman, Kona Solid Leaf Green

Finish #2 is the PINK 'Disappearing 9-path'

I did a pieced backing on this one too, to use up as much pink as possible

I thought this pink leaves on green fabric would make a fun binding. Quilted in loopy swirls using Aurifil wt50 #2437 Peachy Pink
(Look at that white thread!!! Where did it come from?! Have to remove that one asap!)
These two quilts are gifts to two sweethearts who are moving back to South-Africa in a few months.
We are already two days into April! How did that happen?!
RSC color for April is PURPLE - chosen by Angela over at SOSCRAPPY
Do I have purple? Silly question! We all have purple in our stash, don't we?!
I've never been crazy about purple, hence not a big variety; approximately 12-13 yards.
Do you see the 'pinkish' one? Number 3 from the left. It's Moda Marbles Fuchsia, where would you place it? Purple? Or Pink? Your opinion appreciated.
The first I did after I got to know purple is the color for April, was to cut all the pieces for one big and two small star blocks for the Swirling Stars Quilt
What do I do with what is left? A bit less than one yard is binding for some placemats (photos later). For the remaining; I have a square quilt in mind, lets see how that pans out.
Linking up with Angela and the Rainbow Scrap Challenge RSC
HAPPY PURPLE APRIL!

wow for doing whole quilts in the color of the month!
Is the back of the pink quilt supposed to be a robot with a heart?
I would probably put the fuchsia with pink but it's kind of an overlap color that can be used both ways if needed.
I love the pieced backing on both quilts and I'm amazed that you finished two quilts in two months. As for the fabric piece in question, my vote is for purple.
Congratulations on finishing two lovely quilts in pink and green, you have been busy!
Well done! Great pieced backs!
Both of our finished quilts are so pretty. The recipients will be thrilled with them, I'm sure. I think of Fuscia as pink.
Congratulations, Astrid on finishing an entire quilt in one month! And it is a wonderful quilt too. Love it!! Love the pink one too but the green is my fav. Looking forward to seeing Swirling Stars. Enjoy! ;^)
