    I made this quilt for my kid sister. She fell in love w/a bed-in-a-bag from walmart, showed me a photo & said can you make this for me; so I did :)

    I have a friend that loves purple and she asked me to make her a quilt using purple. The fabrics are all batiks.

    OMG, I am so into making purple quilts. When I started thinking about it, I realize I've made quite a few. Here are some that I've taken pictures of. I also have one that is a tumbling block charm (no 2 pieces are the same fabric) that I hand pieced, just to try it out, and to have something to do "on the road."

    Bargello I made from a fabric collection

    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.
    I know what you mean, I am wanting to make a purple one too, just don't know what pattern I am going to use.

    I've made a couple of purples & pinks quilts. The main problem with both of them is that I don't have enough contrast in value (light/dark) and all the sorta mediums just blend together. Guess this demands a fabric shopping trip...oh darn...LOL!!!
