Would you combine these 2 colors together for a monochromatic quilt? Not sure.

I only see 3 photos so not sure what the 4th photo would be?? My explanation in my post is:
Here are my collections. The first photo is all fabrics, the second is the violet-blue one and the last is the violet-plum one.
I wanted to show them all together so you can see how they vary from each other but also a close up of each separate grouping so you can see clearer.
Thanks.

Love your selections and I would, imho, certainly combine both groups for this pattern. It is gong to be awesome. It is a big quilt and can handle all this wonderful fabric. Please post as you go! I am going to subscribe to this thread So I can watch you build your star!
peace
EDIT: @ post #17, I totally agree with this assesment of the colors. After looking again there needs to be more lights and darks to maintain the clarity of the design.
When I made the red one, there was no planning on the colors, just the tone so even though the quilt reads as a red quilt the colors wonder into the purples and maroons and rusts without repeating any fabric.

ube-so glad you found this thread. I was going to seek you out soon to see what you thought so thank you. I ended up with such a large collection of purple batiks that I found a second quilt that will work nicely as well so it will be twice as exciting.
I have to purchase most of my fabric online because of local selection (they only had 3 purple batiks that would even fit into my color range) and it is hard to truly see the accurate color online and that is why I ended up with so many of 2 different purple colors. I don't have as many darks as I would like and the darks from the violet-plum collection are quite a bit darker but I think it will work out. I'll make a few to start, mixing the various collections, and put them on my design wall to see how they look. I've probably got about a week or 10 days to finish the current quilt I'm working on and then I can get started.
