    I finally decided what colors the blocks will be. Not my first choice but it's the only purple fabric I can get my hands on now that even looks close.

    The only block from the first batch that I'm using is the first one.

    I will not post any more pictures until I get it done.

    this one goes with the first one and I had enough of that purple to do this

    This is thenew purple colors that I could find you can see the lighter one really good but the ones I used as the geese? has a black background with little purple flowers on it

    this is the finished center block I did last night it is machine appliqued since it need the heavy black borders all around

    I'd love to know too. I went to Northeast High School in KC, MO, and our colors were purple and gold and we were the mighty Vikings.
