Forgot to mention, I cut the white on white for the borders of the Purple quilt. Despite being very careful I ended up one 2.5" WoF row short, even if I seamed the ragged ends it still wouldn't be enough -- but I had a contingency plan! The fabric for the borders is very linear, not quite stripes and not quite a plaid but linear. I have another fabric that is similar, at least it is what I call "scratchy" lines and not curvy. So the four corner blocks will be made with the back up fabric. I'm happy it worked out as well as it did and that I didn't go out and buy a new piece of white on white.
I still have to cut the purple border fabric, the very geometric purple print has a slight drift to the design, that is it is slightly skewed from the grain of fabric. After much soul searching and discussions with the group, I have decided to semi-fussy cut the pieces so they follow the directions of the print. It wouldn't be bad if I just sliced and diced, but I'd rather spend an extra 10 minutes cutting. One of the reasons I was waiting to cut the purple is that originally I was going to have a final skinny band of the border purple go around the edges, and I prefer to use length of fabric if I can but decided that would make the quilt just a bit too large, it is 96" long as it is. So, there will be enough for the border and the binding. I also have another one of my wild "big enough for a back" pieces with a purple background to use and get out of stash.
I've used up a lot of purple and white on white scraps, including the very last of many of them. Yay!
