Camp Fire Glow aka the story of the purple fabric

So I bought 12 yards of this purple fabric, yep 12 yards. Why 12 yards? Well you see, I bought 4 yards of the same fabric 3 times. My only excuse is there was wine involved with internet shopping. FYI this fabric is called “vivid violet” by Bella Solids. My goal for the year is to use all 12 yards, yep all 12 yards of barney purple.

This Spring Meagan at Then Came June had a quilt along for her newest pattern, called Camp Fire Glow. I knew I was going to start to use that purple!

First came the 9 patches!

Then more 9 patches 🙂

I couldn’t bring myself to use the purple in the stars.

But for my first go at using up my purple, it came out really well.
