Here are three of the six purple blocks I made yesterday.
The end of the paper piecing phase of this quilt project is in sight. Yay! You're maybe as sick of seeing them on my blog as I am of piecing them ... next up is arranging and rearranging on the design wall, adding the plain squares and setting triangles and cutting fabrics for the pieced inner border of half-square triangles.
Before returning to the retreat this morning, I had to put them up on the design wall to double check the blocks/colors needed. So now, the in-progress quilt looks like this:
That perfect backing fabric that I found on Massdrop has been shipped and is on the way. I'm also thinking it will work for the outer border if there is enough. Who knows? If I continue to push to get this top pulled together, perhaps I'll make enough progress to be ready for it when it arrives.
Updating this post to link to Angie's WIPS Be Gone list–now that all the blocks are pieced, the end is in sight.

Very nice use of purples--hugs, Julierose
Will be lovely when done. Nice purples. Love the bright golden orange.
That is going to be one beautiful quilt when done. I love that block. I've never seen it before.
Love that block design (I am not a paper piecer, but this one is tempting).
BEAUTIFUL colors . . .
Looking good. Love the blocks and the design wall. You always make the prettiest quilts.
Hugs
This is coming out beautifully. Good luck on continuing to move this along.
Your blocks and quilts are fabulous!
Perfect backing fabric. The blocks make a great collection. Coming along so well.
Lovely blocks. This will be an amazing quilt.
i would NEVER EVER EVER get tired of seeing this quilt!
since you wouldn't send me the feathers and I had to start my own, I am willing to take this one.
glen: just send it on to Louisiana when you finish it, OK?
What a fantastic pattern. It scares me to death. The rainbow effect is lovely. Will make a gorgeous finish.
holy camolie! that's quite the quilt! very stunning- I love it!
This is a delight! Such a lovely pattern and ideal for Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Love the way you're setting the blocks.
What unique blocks. Modern. Looking forward to seeing your quilt come together.
I guess I missed the pattern source?? Tell me the post with it and I'll come read all about how I, too, could make a couple of these architectural looking blocks. Love what you are designing. LeeAnna at not afraid of color
I won't tire of looking at them at all! But I totally understand the getting tired of making them part. Are you sewing today too?
Yes...I still love these and am not tired of looking at them.
The minute I saw those purple ones, my heart said, "Oooooooohhhh!" The arrangement looks so lovely!
Very stunning, Sophie! I like the way your rainbow quilt is coming along! ;-)
Loving this! Where did the pattern come from?
