Default I love purple

But I really like purple! At the same time, I did admire the choices around me. Maybe next time I will branch out and try a non-purple, but I doubt it....

Do you have a color that you just HAVE to use?

Oh, here is the top. I just finished it....and I REALLY like it. Can't go wrong with purple.

I'm with you, I love purple, although teal comes in a close second. I sometimes think people gravitate towards colors that they look good in, and I look good in teal and purple, but so do my quilts. I love your Trip around the World, lots of purple, but lots of nice contrast too.
