I decided to make string blocks with leftover purple scraps from my stash and a small print. I keep a copy of the Yellow Pages in a bottom drawer in my Sewing Room for such a time as this. It makes a good foundation.
I didn't want to start a new project just to have it become a UFO, but sewing strips onto paper goes pretty fast.
Pulling the paper off, not so much. It gives me something to do while watching a Hallmark Christmas movie way after Christmas, though.
I have 16 blocks made ......
...... so far. And the rest of the month to play with purple. (Oh, joy!)
I am linking up with Scrap Happy Saturday. You may want to look at some of the other purple projects being worked on this month.

Wow, 16 blocks! That's a lot of blocks so maybe you should give yourself a bye for the rest of the month....don't want you to have purple overload ;-)
For not loving PURPLE, you certainly got a LOT of blocks done!! Looking forward to seeing what happens as the months progress.
Ummm... Purple Overload - is that even possible?... Nope, can't be (says the proud owner of your/my Violets quilt)! I am loving your block! Sorry for your pain, but thanks for the delight of watching you create another purple masterpiece. :)
That's quick work, 16 pretty purple scrappy in a week!
That's a nice chink of purple taken care of. Take heart - it won't seem so purple once colors from other months are mixed in with it :)
Nice start! I've only been able to get fabrics cut for my project (had a quilt class to prepare for, then I went out of town this past weekend). Hoping for some sewing progress tomorrow!
And your post reminds me. We haven't received a phone book in longer than I can remember (or Mister has been tossing them with my knowing), but I think I might have one stashed in a drawer in my room!
Now Sandy, those are the most beautiful string blocks I've ever seen --mainly because they are beautifully purple. That is the color of royalty, peace and natures' perfect color. Looks like you are off to a good start for the RSC project. If you need any more purple though, don't hesitate to ask me. You know I have a store full. lol
