    I made a "4 Patch Stack Posie" quilt, the fabric is black background with purple flowers. It is made in a stack and whack method but only takes 4 repeats and you use the same fabric for the blocks and border. The only other fabric you need is sashing. It makes a striking quilt. I have a small quilt shop and I vend at quilt shows and when I display it at a show it gets lots of WOW's. It's a fun quilt to make too, anticipating what each block will look like.

    Several years ago I made a purple rag quilt for our granddaughter. It was made with all sorts of purples and a few other colors in some of the patterns. We called it "Purpleicious". I wish I had a photo to show it.

    This is a purple quilt made for my granddaughter's birthday she is 7 and loved it. She's partial to purples.

    I made a Friendship star in purple and gave it to my friend as swap block. She made me one in purple also.Sorry I don't have a picture. But it is a really pretty top now. I just have to get it on the frame to quilt it. After I take off my heart one that I am still quilting.

    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.
    Hey, any pattern works in purple! I am not a purple fan until it comes to quilts. My DM and I love making purple quilts.
