The Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for September is purple. My RSC goal this year is to whittle down my stack of 5" scrap charm squares by turning them into baby quilts, 9 squares across by 11 squares down, therefore "99 Charms" quilts. Here are the two purple baby quilts I made.
Pattern: 99 Charms
Size: 40" x 51"
Batting: Quilters Dream 80/20
Thread: Glide--Lavender
I do love this print! It was pretty much the only duvet cover at IKEA with purple in it.
This is my second time to post this quilt. I first posted it on July 3, earlier this summer when I had an opening on my longarm. But because it's one of the purple 99 Charms quilts for September, I'm reposting it here.
"Lovegrass" is a type of grass, sometimes decorative, sometimes used to feed animals or prevent erosion. I like the quilting for its swirls!!!
The backing on this one is flannel. ⤴️⤵️

I’m having trouble publishing comments today, too, Nancy - until I tried an Apple device. Then they publish! 🤷🏻♀️. Your purple charm quilts are lovely! I always trouble putting purples together because there are so many different shades - red-purple, blue-purple, some that even look on the brown scale. But in your quilts, everything works. Beautiful quilts!
ReplyDeleteThe baby quilts are so clever, I like anything made up with squares. I love mixing the blue-purples & the red-purples together as they balance everything so well.
ReplyDeleteI tried to post a comment too! So apparently all is back to normal in Blogger-land today.
ReplyDeleteI love your purples, and I like the colors you mix in with them. Do you know you are a great inspiration for me when it comes to color/fabric choices? :) The quilting you chose really adds to the "charm" of these!
That very first comment was from me - Diann@LittlePenguinQuilts. Don't know why it came through as anonymous!
ReplyDeleteI’m here on Saturday. I love looking at all your fabrics. I’m still trying to use up crumbs, but I’d really like to try the 99 Charms quilt. They are all fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't able to post either. . .but, it appears there has been a fix! I sure like the backing that was over your usual budget but, using points brought it into line. . .Interesting how it works sometimes. .. perhaps, this was an example of divine intervention? Your rosemary panto was perfect with that backing!
ReplyDeleteThese are such precious purple quilts, Nancy. I love how you used the duvet as a backing for one of them. Very clever. Have a very lovely day. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThe purples are super fun & that duvet cover is totally perfect. Great find.
ReplyDeleteYou are a real inspiration with the wonderful baby charm quilts you make. I know I've got some 5 inch squares tucked away, but where exactly, I wonder? Might have to think about this for next years RSC.
ReplyDeleteYour purple little quilts are beautiful, and this duvet backing is perfect! It pairs perfectly with the Rosemary pattern. I also love the koi fish! Thank you for sharing and linking up.
ReplyDeleteThe purple is really pretty, and I like the quilting designs you chose!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful purple quilts, Nancy! The duvet backing is perfect. Love your quilting, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteSounds like everyone was having trouble publishing comments yesterday. I was worried you'd have three from me! I would not be overjoyed if I used up all my purple (or blue) (or green) scraps, but to make such beautiful quilts with scraps must bring so much joy! These are lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt is so fun to see all the happy colors in each quilt. You have got A LOT of them made!!
ReplyDeleteWonderfully relaxed quilts. Nice :-)) I like.
ReplyDeleteBest regards.
Happy Sunday.
Your IKEA backing fabric is just perfect to go with those purple squares. At least someone is seeing the bottom on one of their scrap bins. I'm not sure mine will ever be empty.
ReplyDeletebeautiful quilt. Love the quilting. I have bookmarked her site so I can suggest her to my long-armer. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous purples in your quilts. Love the combinations.
ReplyDeleteChosen pantographs are a delight. And that doona cover baking is so sweet.
Both quilts are so very pretty! I recently made an 8 x 10 Checkerboard quilts on the final night of a retreat with the help of a friend. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWell, I wasn't able to use my usual Google account to login today! Cyberworld can be crazy. LOVE these purple quilts. My favorite color. I love the backings for both as well. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings!
ReplyDeleteI love purple so these little quilts are perfect to me! Love the quilting motifs you chose. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

I'm late commenting, sorry! Your purple quilts are so cheerful, and that backing is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThose baby quilts are stunners! I'm curious about the Ikea fabric. Is it a good thread count? Do you find it soft and supple or it it more like canvas?
ReplyDeleteI used an IKEA "duvet cover", not fabric. The thread count is light, I would say thinner than quilters cotton, which is why I always pre-wash/shrink it. It is acceptable in my book. It is not the canvas decorator fabrics IKEA sells as 3 meter precut bundles.
DeleteAha -- love that you snuck that Vikings fabric into your purple charm quilt! And I'm intrigued by IKEA bedding as a backing source. You are so resourceful!
ReplyDeleteThe Rosemary pantograph is on my "for one-day-quilt-design board" :) I agree it looks so lovely. And so fitting with the backing you picked. How convenient you collected so many points! And as always two beautiful RSC projects. xo
ReplyDeleteI struggle to find purple prints to add to my stash; I think it's a less frequently chosen color for many collections. I'm impressed with the lovely quilts you were able to make for the RSC color this month, and I love that backing choice you found at IKEA. Thanks so much for linking up with Favorite Quilt Finish!
