    I made my sister a red hat quilt. It used up a lot of purples.

    I made a purple rail fence quilt and it turned out pretty nice. Four shades of purple and lilac. I would send picture but quilt is being quilted at shop.

    Is there a tutorial or download for this technique?

    Has anyone made a Yellow Brick Road in different shades of purple? Does anyone has a pattern they used and liked in purple? I am all ears.
    The second quilt I ever made was a Rail Fence pattern in purples. It was very easy to make.

    I made a purple and red quilt for a Red Lady friend.

    It was beautiful. I used the Winding Ways pattern.
