August Color of the Month Challenge 2026
The color for August is PURPLE. This is a color that I really like to mix with teal and have used it many times in my quilt projects.
Purple Churn Dash Quilt Blocks
I continued making the Churn Dash quilt blocks using my leftover batiks from my Island Batik ambassador quilt projects. I used a mixture of batiks and cotton quilting fabrics. I do this quite often. The white is a premium muslin.
This is a fast and easy quilt block to make.

Morning Glory quilt blocks for the August Color Challenge
I am continuing to make a couple of Morning Glory quilt blocks also.
Monthly Churn Dash Quilt Blocks
Here are all of the Churn Dash quilt blocks for the year. I’m not sure how I plan on putting them together in a quilt, I guess I should start working on that.
Morning Glory quilt blocks
I still haven’t made all of the monthly Morning Glory quilt blocks, that is still on my list but here is what I have so far. Hopefully I’ll get caught up in August.
August Linky Party
I would love to see what quilt blocks or projects you are making this month with Purple.

How can I add my ppurple quilt to the party?
Hi Linda, just click on the Linky party section on the Blue Add Link button and upload your photo. For the caption just put your name.
WOW that really POPS!!!!!! I don’t have a lot of purples in my stash (school colors for my kids were purple and white and used it up!) But time replace the PURPLE!!!!!!! Love the pattern too! Thanks
I always seem to be low on purples too Joan. I love adding them to quilt projects with teal.
Wow! Those blocks look gorgeous, both the churn dash and the morning glories. It’s so fun to see them all together. I love the purple churn dash. Your fabrics are great.
Purple is such a fun color!
Ooh – purple is awesome! Love those morning glory blocks.
Thanks Sara
