This one is, I think, close to my favourite — so far, that is. I realized Tuesday night that I have used purples in a lot of these blocks. I love how rich it makes a block feel. Once I’ve got the 30 blocks that will be used in this quilt top done and at least 3 or 4 of them surrounded by the cream hexagons I’ll start auditioning a fabric for the connecting squares. Given the predominance of purple in the blocks, I’m thinking a purple/mauve batik may be the right choice for that. But that’s a decision for after this weekend.
The back:
My linen arrived on Tuesday for the Mary Wigham sampler. As my eyes are somewhat tired from reading and reading and reading the 900 pages I referred to yesterday, I’ll wait until Friday or Saturday to get started. Following the chart would be, right now, a bit too much!
It has been quite cool here this week. Tuesday neither cat was the least bit interested in windowsill time. Instead they found cozy spots to curl up. Smudge in his kitty bed:
And Lester curled up in the chair. This photo makes me smile — his head resting on a hind paw while a front paw holds on to that rear leg.

Purple and yellow, a favorite combination! It reminds me of the springtime crocus. Don't you just love the positions that cats get themselves into?

You can never go wrong when using complimentary colors, Cathi. It's beautiful.What kind and color of linen did you get for your MW sampler? I'm dying to start mine but still don't have the necessary supplies.

Hi Cathi,Another beautiful block. Love the color combo, really makes it pop. Aren't cats funny how they sleep. If I sleep a little bit different, my neck has a kink in it for a week!~Karen~

Cathi, since purple is my favorite color, you definitely got my attention with this block. It is just lovely. Glad your kitties had a good nap day. My Callie is curled up by my feet as I type. Have a good day. Winona
