Sunday Quilt Inspiration: P U R P L E

I may have found inspiration in the color purple already, but the quilt I finished this week really has me thinking purple. Then I looked in to see how much purple I have. 

These are my purple fabrics.
Aren't they nicely organized?

It's not so bad as I thought, though it's plenty of fabric for one color. What was I thinking? Oh, yes, all those granddaughters. That's what I was thinking--the color of bright smiles and sparkly eyes when we discovered a perfect fabric. 

I must admit, when the girls were with me at a fabric store, they could easily convince me to buy their favorite fabric of the day. Though generally it was pink (that's a pile of one color!) I was duped into several others as well. 

So it goes when you wait as long as I did for a little girl to come into your life. Then you're blessed with many and the gratitude is unspeakable. 

Not my purple buttons, but aren't they lovely?

When you have such a love for grandies, you let them enjoy every bit of every thing possible, because you've come to realize how short life is and know that some experiences and memories are worth everything it will cost you. 

And you make quilts. 

Have  a beautiful, purple kind of week!
