Green is for me! I have twice as much green as any other color.
I used to take a Bible study with a woman who loves purple. Every article of her clothing is purple. Her jewelry is purple. Her purses and bags are purple. Her nail polish is purple. Her car is purple. I love green, but not that much. I do love all the other colors:)

I LOVE your quilt!!!

I also love purple yellow & purple are my "signature colors" (if you saw the movie
Steel Magnolias you might recognize the "signature color" reference).

However I love ALMOST any color EXCEPT brown & olive/drab green. But I DO
have (very limited amounts) of those colors in my HUGE stash, I just try to avoid
them as much as I can.

But after looking at your quilt pattern I think that might be the perfect pattern for
the red, orange, yellow & black quilt I want to make.

Thanks for sharing and giving me another possible pattern choice.

Mine would've been pink. Everything around here is pink and green -- usually with roses on it. Luckily my husband could care less about decore. I'm not sure he could even tell you what color the walls or drapes are.

Thanks for the compliments. What WAS new or me this time was that I could almost picture what this would look like before I made it. This is new for me. Maybe I am finally getting the "design board" in my head to function!

Your quilt is gorgeous although I never use purple myself I do like it. I use red in most of my quilts.

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. :)

Dina, I am there with you. Love purple and have so many shades. Your quilt is beautiful. Is the boarder white or very light lilac?

Mine are dark rich jewel tones, burgandy, royal blue,emerald green and black, etc. about 5 or 6 of these. Some or all of these will be in my quilts and usually not any pale colors.
