It's definitely something I would consider, as I love purple, plus my DDIL wants me to make a quilt for their bedroom and they picked out one dark purple wall with a light silvery lavender for the other 3 walls - it's beautiful.

My DDinL wants a purple quilt so I started looking for colors in the cool purple and blue range. At our local JoAnn's there was only a very small selection. While I know that the JA's isn't the trendiest place in the world, I do hear quilters say frequently how much they like purple. Surprised any quilting fabric store would ever let those colors run low. Hope the proclamation will result in a broader selection. I do think the colors that don't go well with "the color of the year" get under produced, until they come back into style.

I do like purples, so perhaps this won't be so bad for me. If I don't like the color as a 'stand alone fabric', I'll bet I would like it as part of a design. Oh, well. Aren't we quilters skilled at making the best of a questionable situation?

Take a pass on this one?

My 2 year old GD had a piece of black penguin on white flannel. The little guys had 'RADIENT ORCHID" scarves. My first though was to find a piece of the almost pink to trim out the dress. Gave that up for a bad idea.
I don't mind the color, but I'm not going to stress myself out by trying to match it.
