My friends and I saw a monochromatic purple quilt in a show once. It was a simple rail fence, but the most beautiful quilt there! We studied it to figure out WHY such a simply patterned quilt was the most beautiful quilt there, and decided it was because the maker used every shade of purple imaginable: bluish purples, pinkish purples, reddish purples, greyed purples, purples which were almost black, purples which were almost white, etc. All that variety in a monochromatic quilt made it so exciting! So when it came time for me to make a purple quilt as a gift, you can guess just what I did! Use them all, and more if you can get your hands on any others. You won't regret it. Have fun!

all of those seem to go very well together in my humble opinion

If you plan on making the Ohio star quilt I think you might have too many fabrics in the medium value range.

Convert your photo to B&W and look at it again. With the OS quilt the value is the key, and the example has pretty well defined lights and darks. If you want yours to be just as defined, you need more lights and darks and less of some of the colors in the middle range.

If you were looking to make a bargello though ... the selection is perfect!!

As for the blue quilt ... I don't think values are going to make as much of a difference. So whichever one you were planning on using for the blue quilt the fabric collection is fine.


Actually ... I looked again and the selection that is more on the red color range has a more distinct value range than the purple with the exception of the 4 colors at the top of the photo in the middle row.

Another vote for using them all. Variety is the spice of life.

I think I'm missing something -

I see four photos - but they seem to be two sets that are duplicates of each other.

Lovely fabrics.
