Choosing Fabrics: The Art of Purple
Quilters know that the magic happens in fabric selection, and the Purple Play Quilt offers plenty of room for creativity. Here are some ideas to inspire your fabric choices:
- Monochromatic Purple Palette: Stick to shades of purple—think deep amethyst, soft lilac, and royal violet. Combine these with subtle patterns like batik or tone-on-tone designs to keep things interesting without overwhelming the eyes.
- Purple and Neutrals: Want a modern twist? Pair your purples with neutrals like gray, cream, or even black. This will allow the purple shades to truly stand out while maintaining a contemporary feel.
- Bright and Bold: Feeling daring? Mix purples with pops of bright yellow, orange, or teal. These colors create a high-contrast, vibrant quilt that screams energy and fun! Already picturing how these fabrics could transform into something extraordinary?
Whatever combination you choose, don’t forget that fabric texture matters as much as color. Play with cotton, linen, or even velvet for a luxe touch!

A Quilter’s Story: Bringing Purple to Life
I remember the first time I worked with purple fabrics—it was a spontaneous choice for a baby quilt. I was skeptical at first. Would it be too bold for a baby’s room? But as the quilt took shape, I realized how calming and elegant purple could be. It wasn’t just a color; it was a mood—a sense of warmth and creativity that filled the room. The finished quilt became a centerpiece at the baby shower, and I’ve been hooked on purple ever since!
