Purple progress:
I settled on the classic 'Grandmother's Choice' block because it tickled my fancy to include 'grandmother' in the quilt design and also because this block illustration (which I will print and tuck into the quilt when I send it) is PURPLE. I'm easily amused.
I got all nine blocks pieced, using a scrappy assortment of 30s conversational prints.
So far, so good.
