I have a new ironing board cover waiting for me to get up enough energy to change it, but it's blue not purple. I've never seen a purple one in the stores.

My purple ironing board cover is just fabric from my stash, pinned on my board. Works well for me. :)

Yep I am a Burgandy girl but not as bad as you I will make others SOMETIMES lol.

Well, I do believe you like Purple. LOL However, purple is a really nice color and your quilt is awesome. Seems like I put red and yellow in every quilt I make. Although I have had several people tell me that I shouldn't put yellow in a quilt, I do and I will because I love bright colors and yellow. LOL

That is really pretty, one day i am going to make one, don't know what my favorite color is but i seem to have more blues in my stash than anything else.......

It really is funny, we all have color preferences, even if it is not as obvious as your love of purple. When people see a group of quilts, they say: Oh yes, that is a Penny quilt! I have tried to select different color combinations, but they alway turn out to look 'like me'.........really funny, isn't it!

Love, love, love your quilt! I am definitely a Purple Pash person - I'm even driving my second purple car! Purple is the ultimate feel-good color. I find myself buying lots and lots of purple and other jewel tones - mostly darker values, with some mediums thrown in - find it difficult to buy lights and neutrals - there isn't a neutral bone in my body! When I wanted to do the circle quilt that is my avatar, did a shop hop in CT over two weekends and had to restrict myself to just getting the palest batiks for the background squares. It was tough, but now I have enough of all the batiks (including oodles of purples, greens and blues - very watery-feeling!) to make a quilt for myself ... it will be a first since all my quilts have been made for specific happy occasions, i.e. baby showers, etc.
