Soy Amado No.22

I think after brown, purple seems to be quilters least favourite colour.

No. 22 is aiming to buck that perception.



When I first started quilting, purple was my favourite coloured fabric and I have quite the collection of purple in all its hues.



Working with the blocks in this quilt has reignited my interest in purple again.


And once I get back into my sewing room I'll be rifling through my lilacs, lavender, violet and amethyst because purple is never just purple.



Another delivery of quilts were made to the home last week. I did ask for pictures of quilts on beds but they'd just come out the wash and were stacked up in piles. Apparently, each quilt now has a name on it of the child it belongs to. 

Next delivery is mid June and I have asked for pictures again.

  2. Congrats on the finish of #22! I’ve never been a real lover of purple in quilts, but lately I’ve boughts some purplish fabrics cause they can add so much interest to a scrappy kind of quilt!

  7. I love purple and orange and it's fun to see ten of my blocks in this quilt.
    I'm glad you have so many blocks to choose from as you design the quilts... must be fun. Are blocks still arriving?

  8. eleven are my blocks. it's funny how it takes a while to recognize them. initially I only recognized 8 as "mine." ;)

  9. Great quilt! I also love purple but find it hard to find purple fabric that I like - I obviously need to look harder!

  10. And four blocks are mine! Thank you so much for utilising them into something so useful. The end result is very lovely and I am sure someone will love it.

  11. I find purple fabrics by far the most difficult to buy, which I think is why I don't have that many in my fabric collection although I really love the colour. Lovely quilt and nice that all of the blocks came from just two people!
