Hidden Gems Quilt - Scraphappy with Purple in January 2017

Hidden Gems Quilt - Scraphappy with Purple
I have resisted for many years, but the flurry of Hidden Gems quilt blocks I have seen has tipped me over the edge.  I have given in and one of my 2017 projects will be joining the Scraphappy gang at So Scrappy.  I am a long time visitor to the blog and often see the fun everyone is having with their scraps.  The Hidden Gems pattern was one of the first 'Pins' I pinned on Pinterest several years ago and these are the first four blocks completed in purple fabrics - not without pain, but complete nonetheless.  The blocks are 4" square.

With all the pieces for my Dear Jane quilt cut I still have ALL THIS Kim Diehl fabric left over.  Clearly I didn't want to run out of the fabric.  I probably have enough remaining fabric to make several Dear Jane quilts, but instead I will be turning them into a Hidden Gems quilt over the next 12 months, following the colour guidance of SoScrappy.

    Beautiful blocks. I am sure that you will find plenty of great things to do with the DJ fabric. So glad that you didn't run out. That would have been terrible!

    Hidden Gems is a fascinating block. It will make a stunning rainbow quilt. So glad you joined us this year. Have a fun week!

    I'm so (scrap) happy that you're joining RSC this year. And hidden gems is a winner. (I'm trying to find the original name for the block but have had no success using my luddite resource of books.)
