Purple is my favorite color and I absolutely love this quilt. Why don't you care for it? Is purple not your color? It looks beautiful. The girls in my guild constantly joke that I can't quilt unless I am using purple colored fabric in it somewhere. I even just made a Twister Christmas Tree and it is purple, green and gold Asian fabrics. Guess I really love my purple. And the candle mats are amazing. Your points are one I am jealous of. Great job on it all. THnaks for sharing
