:lol: Thanks, it litterally made me sick to make it as the high contrast of the purple and white made me dizzy and sick to my stomach, beside I don't like purple very much. :lol:

All the quilts are gorgeous. We could find an Irish Chain or many dozens more. Come on down and look at my quilt book and patterns. (Love ya, Sis)

Has anyone made a Yellow Brick Road in different shades of purple? Does anyone has a pattern they used and liked in purple? I am all ears.

Here's one I made using just 2 purple fabrics. I made it for my sister for her 40th b-day.

hooray for purple, my favorite, and I've done quite a few purple quilts. One thing on my bucket list is to make a purple sampler of Sunbonnet Sue, I have so many patterns I will do thirty blocks each different.

I made my first quilt in various shades of purple and used gold as an offset color. Much to my amasement it looked really good (for a first timer) when I was done. Purple is kind of a staple color of mine, I love it. Don't be afraid of it, you can be really creative.
