Modern Tradition and Zoo Animal Quilt Alongs, and purple scrappy blocks

I got my internet and TV wiring redone yesterday and found myself without an internet connection in my attic.
March's BOM from Kristie at Quiet Play (free this month).
 This morning, I went to Frye's Electronics and bought a $30 USB wireless adapter (WIFI) and now I have my internet back without running any wires or cables!  Just mentioning it in case it's helpful for someone.
Here's the trio of blocks done so far for Kristie's Zoo Animal BOM.  Three done, six to go.

For Shannon's a (Modern Tradition Quilts) QA, I skipped the ribbon block for now and made the pinwheel star block instead.

Six done, three to go (although I may add more blocks).

Some scrappy purples.  Many of the centers are from a charm pack called So Lovely.  I love purple and green together and may add scrappy green corner triangles to each block.


Linking up with Quiet Play, Richard and Tanya Quilts, Confessions of a Fabric Addict, and Modern Tradition Quilts.

Thank goodness for wifi! Those zoo animals are cute. I'd be tempted to make an arctic quilt with the penguin and polar bear. Maybe add a walrus, seal and fox? So cool. :) www.quiltartbymegan.com
