I have really enjoyed playing in my purple scraps this month and seeing everyone's lovely blocks.
It is my favorite color!
I made this Lupine block for my Garden Quilt while I had my purple scraps out. I saw this idea of stacking different sized four patches years ago and I filed it away in my mind palace. Not sure if my block looks anything like the block I remember, but I am happy with the results.
I am slowly piecing together the bottom third of the top and hope to share the finish in October. I just keep getting distracted by other projects!
This week I also finished four purple blocks for my Garlic Knots. This completes making Septembers Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks. I look forward to seeing what color October brings.
With all of my RSC blocks done, I will have to find other scrap projects to work on.
There are certainly many to choose from right now!

What a neat way to make a flower, love it! Happy Stitching!
Your lupine block is just great! I have those in my garden, too, and I love them. I'm guessing your garden quilt needed a tall thin block to fit in between some of the other blocks - this one will be perfect for that.
I love when you use an idea that has been stored away!! The idea is wonderful and I see Lupine or Holly Hocks! Every time I see your Garlic Knot blocks I like them more!
Just love your Lupin - what a great idea! Isn't it great when you finally get a chance to use it?
I love the gradation in value in your lupine block. That gives it so much dimension.
Ohhh Purple - so pretty! love your garlic Knots
Love the lupine. "Mind palace" . . . that cracked me up!!

I like your lupine block. Very pretty, Hum, garlic knots would be a great block for me for next year's RSC. I'm way behind... haven't done any purples and really didn't do much last month either. Sigh.
I love that lupine Block! I was just out cleaning up a patch of lupines yesterday, spreading the seeds as I worked. There are lots of fun scrappy projects linked up this week!
Love the lupine block! I think it turned out spectacularly! Sure to make a lovely addition to your garden quilt. Have a great week!
Your lupine block and garlic knots look great! Congrats on finishing up the challenge! If you're looking for a new project, I vote for Preeti's Sisterhood blocks. They are SO stinking cute and I love how they feature each scrap of a print fabric as a fabulous dress and hat for the "sister!"
Love that Lupine block!!!
Whew! Barely made the link up. I need to make myself a note that yours starts on Saturday!
Love that lupine block Cynthia, perfect colour.
