    Re: all the purple people eater questions. Here are the lyrics:

    "I said Mr Purple People Eater what's your line?
    He said eating purple people and it sure is fine
    But that's not the reason that I came to land
    I wanna get a job in a rock 'n roll band"

    So I guess in theory he could be any color you want, but I've always thought of him as being purple.

    I guess it pays to read the posts to the end. You may learn something new. Not very important, but interesting.

    I like Carole King's "Our House" Our house is a very very very fine house. With 2 cats in the yard, life used to be so hard. Now everything is easy cause of you........

    "Love Letters in the Sand" also gives lots of block possibilities.

    This is a fun challenge.

    What a wonderful world by Louis Armstrong could be very dynamic.

    I have fabric with clock faces on it I have been saving to do Jim Croce's Time In A Bottle. There are lots of Jar and bottle patterns on line. There is also a line in it about a box full of wishes, I'm still working on that.

    I just think this idea based on a song would make a great theme for a challenge block for a quilt show.
