October Color Challenge Revisited (Friday Foto Fun #55)

Happy Friday! I can't believe this is the last Friday of October!  Which means the October Color Challenge link up is OPEN to enter your block for prizes!  YAY!!! Make sure to head over to Patterns By Jen's blog to link up.  If you missed the kickoff of the challenge, you still have time to make something BLUE-VIOLET and enter!  Read about the October Challenge here.

This is my 3rd blue-violet block, this one using Jen of Dizzy Quilter's Circle Play block!  Like previous months, I used my quarter circle templates to make my paper piecing templates to make this wonderful block!  Check out my January post that walks through the process for the circle.  This month the idea was making half square triangles paper pieced inside each of the quadrants.

I followed Dizzy Quilter's instructions and made sure to label the paper pieced sections to keep all the different colors straight!  I really dislike unstitching when paper piecing!

Don't forget to download my block free until the end of the month as well!

Links to the patterns for the 3 blue-violet blocks from Left to Right, Top to Bottom:

• Powered by Quilting (mine!)

Don't forget the link up is open until October 31th on Patterns by Jen's blog to win this month's prize!

The winner this month will receive a $25 gift certificate to Cherrywood Fabrics!

There are some awesome giveaways each day of market so be sure to be following #missingmarket or me to catch all the fun.  In fact, head over to my Instagram after 9am Eastern today to enter in the first giveaway!!!  The fun starts now!
