I'm thrilled to hear the purple kitchens are now "in". Ha! This thread has me wanting to change ALL the colors in my house.

A quilt is to love, the colors don't have to match anyting in your home. I don't have too many laying around (since family members want them all) but the ones I have don't really match but they do keep our legs warm when we are reading or watching TV and we love them so.

I just completed piecing the top to a quilt for my granddaughter (almost 12). She too picked out her own material. Her room is purple with green curtains...and odds and ends furniture like her blue desk! So...her quilt is made of Happy fabrics in orange, purple, teal, black and white....oh, and some green. I'll try to get a pic on the website asap. It looks wild...but she really likes it. Your quilt looks just fine.

the color of quilts vs matching is the same rule about blue denim. they go with everything. besides, the design police are usually at the donut shop with the quilt police. so do what makes you feel good.

I love the purple, blue and black in your star. I think you shouldn't worry about what other's think of your color choices. If you are making items for yourself, pick colors you like. I too have a similar design wall, except I put in screw in cup hooks in the wood molding over the closet door, then tied a loop of string that hangs on the hook, another screw in cup hook goes in a piece of 1" X 2" that's in a sleeve in a big piece of flannel (wider than the closet opening). I have sleeves on two sides, so can have it two ways: long from top to bottom or long widthwise.

I'm curious (and a bit paranoid),

P.S. Is your SIL an officially certified Quilt Police, or something? If not, she'd better be careful, or she could be cited for criticizing without a license. :lol:
