I've been playing with these.

| Actually, there's another one but I forgot to photograph it
And there's also these but I didn't use them in this particular quilt
I cut them up into 4 1/2" squares, randomly sewed them together and added in some 3 1/2" 'cycle tracks' to make this.
I straight line quilted with the walking foot down the 'cycle tracks' and did swirling circles over the rest of the quilt.
I know purple isn't everyone's cup of tea but I do like it. When I first started quilting I was obsessed with purple and it's fair to say I have a well-curated, historical purple stash.
And I also added in some more of the Windham Chartreuse solid that I used in the previous quilt to lighten things up a bit. The binding I felt added just a bit more zing.
Almost forgot the back. One width of fabric wasn't wide enough so I spliced it off centre and added in another strip of the turquoise Ride fabric.
And that was it.
Job done.
Linking up to Finish It Up Friday
