This is my latest completed quilt top. The pattern is called Amish Buggy Wheels, so I named it "Bali Buggy Wheels." I took a class from Jean Nolte the editor of Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting magazine. She had designed and published the pattern a couple of years ago, and I jumped at the chance to try curved piecing. Notice, the dominant color is...purple. Why is that a big deal, you may be wondering. Well, here is the thing. If asked, I would say that my favorite color is hot pink. I love red; I love pink. I have operated under the belief for many years that my favorite color is, indeed, pink.
However, evidence would suggest that my favorite color may, in fact, be PURPLE! I recently took stock of all my finished quilt tops that are waiting for me to have time to throw them on my trusty Nolting longarm for finishing, and 7 out of 7 are...PURPLE! What! This has shaken my very existence. Do I love purple? Have I been fooling myself all these years about my love affair with pink? Why don't I have at least one pink quilt top? I have pink fabrics purchased and hanging out in my stash. Yet, I haven't made even one quilt top in the past two years focusing on this (my supposed favorite). Shocking!
My vow for the remaining months of 2013 is to make a pink quilt! When I do, I will decide if it steals my heart, or if my heart belongs to the color purple!
