Balance..ugh! Finding the balance with all the different shades of blue for my grandsons' quilt was easy but trying to balance the purples was a real struggle. I guess because purples can be red based, or blue based, they can easily clash so all these chevrons spent days and days pinned up on the design wall and every person that came into the house got dragged into the sewing room to "have a look and switch" before I finally felt happy with the layout. My biggest fear is when I give it to Miss 3 year old she will then decide that green, or yellow is her favourite colour!!!!!!!!

My DGD would love this quilt, as she also loves purple. I know what you mean about finding pins after the quilt is together, they can be very sneaky even though I double check. Glad you found them before giving it to her.
