I am still decluttering my sewing room (when I get tired of cutting fabric) and did another trip to the thrift store. To donate that is. But yes, I just had to walk to the fabric and bedsheet section. If I didn't, I knew that I would turn around and come back into the store before reaching the car so ... here's what I got.
I've been cutting fabric to make kits and going through my quilt magazines. I'm saving the ideas I like from the magazines and then giving them away. Too many, waayyy too many!
They call this beautiful block in plaid, Road to Oklahoma. Funny, but all I see is Buckeye Beauty. Either way, I love it.
I have more purple scraps under the needle, trying to finish another Stained Glass block and some crumbs. Hopefully, the purple scrap bags will be smaller for next weekend photo session.
Have an amazing and cool week everyone.

I can see why you were tempted by that baby quilt panel. Such a bargain and so adorable.
Great finds for the kits. I picked up a clearance duvet cover at IKEA yesterday that I'm going to cut up & use for backing. We'll see how it goes. I've also been going through my quilt mags, tearing out the patterns I want to keep & recycling the rest. You're nicer to give them away.
I believe you because I have the same problem when photographing purple - it looks blue! I've even tried different cameras and different phones. Can't figure it out. That's a cute panel you found, and the whales are awesome! You have an eye for thrifty finds, Chantal!
Doesn't it give you a lift to come across such great finds at the thrift store! What fun and you will enjoy using pretty fabrics. Great block auditions there too.
The blocks are definitely purple on my screen. You have found some great pieces at the thrift store, I very seldom find anything worth keeping (I think others get there first!)

Some colors just wont cooperate with the lighting,I have a certain pink that turns ted no matter what I do,lots of great finds,im going through my saved "wantta makes" & my magazines too lol
Ces tissus sont adorables ! La girafe, le scooter rose, les petites baleines, il va y avoir de mignons bébé quilts bientôt ! Bises
Definitely purple on my screen! What a lot of lovely fabric you found. I do like that flying geese pattern too - a nice one. xx
I'd say all your thrift store purchases were "start the car" worthy! Love that panel!
Awesome blocks, whether blue or purple! And you got great deals at the thrift shop, congrats! Happy cutting!
I agree with you that the plaid quilt's blocks are Buckeye Beauty.
