"Sometimes I need to do something bold, bright, and modern. I had been collecting purple fabrics for quite some time. I loved putting them up on a wall and losing myself in their intense richness. I always play with colors and shapes on the wall when I start a quilt project like this. It is surprising and fun to see what contrasting colors will do to bring out my main color idea. This one is all about purple, yet you'll find dozens of other colors in there too."
