Default purple and green - wow!

A friend wanted a quilt for her mother's tall old-fashioned double bed with purples, greens, and pansies. When I saw this I knew it was perfect. I usually do zippadeedoodah patterns - turning 12, cheaper by the dozen, yellow brick road - easy peasey, quickly done - so this was a real stretch for me. I still have to quilt and bind it - I cringe at the thought - but at least this much is done.

I have never mitered borders before and the striped borders just seemed to require them. It took at least 6 hours for me to do these silly borders and I'm not sure they will ever even show. Oh well, now I know how to do them!

Fabric: Lovely by Debbie Beaves for RJR Fabrics
Pattern: Plumeria from the May/June 2013 issue of Quiltmaker magazine
Size: 90" square
