Same here! Both are great. It all depends on what you're looking for.

I love it with the purple, I love the splash of color it gives!

katesnanna 05-15-2014 06:26 AM

Yes, yes, yes to the purple.

roserips 05-15-2014 06:45 AM

It looks kind of scrappy and I like the purple in there, use the purple.

sunrise450 05-15-2014 06:55 AM

Leave the purple in! Your colors are perfect.

Mariposa 05-15-2014 06:59 AM

Definitely keep the purple! :)

I agree that without the purple it looks elegant and peaceful. Some color combos pop too much for me! Beautiful colors.

The purple makes it come alive, unless you want a very quiet muted look.

daisydebby 05-15-2014 10:23 AM

Like them both....I personally like the muted 2nd....but, the purple pops certainly works. WOW, I think HeartofWisdom (Can't go back or I'll lose my thoughts...yes, true) your Pinterest page is awesome. Love the purples and greens:)

MargeD 05-15-2014 11:12 AM

Personally, I like the little splashes of purple, I'd leave it as is.

misseva 05-15-2014 11:15 AM

I like Purple.

grandme26 05-15-2014 02:12 PM

I like the purple.....

JanieH 05-15-2014 02:34 PM

Oh, my, what a decision! Glad I don't have to make the final one as I love them both!
For me, I would probably go with the second one; I love the softeness of it.

tron80 05-15-2014 11:21 PM

I like the second, I'm not very fond of purple...

LOL - that's how i feel, too!!! I like the 2nd one better, too. And someone used the word "sophisticated" And maybe that's it.

The purple does work, I just like the 2nd one better.

Donnamarie 05-16-2014 05:05 AM

Yes, I would use the purple fabric, it gives the quilt more of a sparkle. The other is fine to but my choice would be to add the purple.

Boston1954 05-16-2014 06:47 AM

Yes, the purple gives it a little extra something.

MOLLYDOOKER2 05-16-2014 08:53 AM

Purple yes!

I also liked the purple but then I saw the 2nd one and have to say I would go with it (for me). But they are both nice so whichever one suits you.

Ladies, thank you so very much for all your comments and advise, all is very much appreciated.
now that the quilt top is finished (not quilted yet), I think that both versions would be nice.
I went with the purple color and made it into 82 x 104" quilt, did not plan to make it so big but it will cover queen size bed very nicely.

Now I need to order some batting and decide how to quilt it (any suggestions here would also be appreciated)
Thank you once more

What a very nice idea. I LOVE the purple ones makes it really pop!!
