I have packed my purple material to take to Texas with us. I intend to cut the pieces and maybe actually get to start putting it together when we get home. I love purple too.

Kansas State University is 150 years old this year so that is where the idea for the challenge came from. At the meeting, during program, we had each quilter tell about what she/he had done and share the story behind their quilt. It was so interesting to hear how people decided on what to do. Some were like me, they just made a quilt, but many had wonderful stories to share.The family is His on one side and Hers on other and at the bottom are their children; The next one was "Things I love about KSU"; The Log Cabin done in purples and white with school emblems; paper pieced fans in purples; Roads to KSU--in the middle is the emblem of Kansas State University; Mine --a QAYG not very imaginative; Apron--done by a most creative quilter who does lots of garments as well as regular quilts; And the last one is the university's main library "Hale Library" . There are 150 window panes on the front side of the library--each pane is a different purple.
Lovely quilts! My favorite color!

I have looked at both threads - y'all made some beautiful quilts! My two favorite are the Log Cabin in this one and the gray stripey with the circles in the other thread. Congrats on a job well done!
