I had fun rummaging through my big bag of batiks, and found a nice selection of purples in various hues. Just right to make my purple RSC Cobblestone blocks this week.
Purple batiks
Mind you, in an effort to protect my back after spinal surgery, it took me all week to construct these blocks. One day I stood while I cut the pieces out, the next I pinned them all together. Can’t help myself, I’m a great pinner! Stitching them together happened the next day, followed by trimming and pressing. Slow but steady does it, at the moment.
My purple Cobblestone blocks
I’m pleased with how they all look together, and will have to lay them out with the other colours I’ve made previously. Now, what’s next? I’m sure there are some purple boats I need to make.

All batiks seem to go together so well, they are lovely blocks, and you are doing so well too, easy does it, a little at a time. Hope you are snug and warm, wet and cold outside up here.
Pretty cobblestones in batik purples...gald to hear you are taking it in easy steps...
stay safe hugs, Julierose
Such gorgeous fabrics - they look great. xx
It is hard to be a turtle when you are used to moving faster like a rabbit, but slow and sure wins the race. All will get done in good time. Do take it easy, I have had spine surgery as well, and it was months before I felt like I was back to normal.
I’m glad you can do a little sewing, even if it is slow and steady.
Those batiks are gorgeous, Jenny.
Happy to hear you are able to work on your projects each day. The batiks are beautiful.
i'm not a fan of batiks, but those blocks are gorgeous! can't wait to see all the colors together.
What pretty purples you have there! I'm always a sucker for batiks, and purples are the best!
Lovely blocks! They will certainly make a lovely quilt!
Those are pretty blocks! Sounds like you are doing the right thing to take care of yourself!

slow and steady wins the race! Glad to hear you are able to do a little bit of work on your sewing projects most days! Your purple cobblestones are very pretty!
