Purple doesn't sound nearly as elegant as pretty plum, misty mauve (my favorite retired color) or even deep concord (as Julia suggested). It is a definite 'in' color. The bella twisted challenge this week is to use purple and paper piecing so I have finished up this card and it suits both challenges. I have opted for the more muted and dusty tones which I LOVE!! Wish I knew the dp. I bought it in Missouri and it came from Australia, I think!! I cut it into 6X6's and kept the strip hanging around for a while, but it is missing now!!

I love your card and you sound just like me. I always cut up my 12x12 sheets right away. I just threw out a strip with the name the other day and have NO idea where it matched. Some of them are just too precious to use big pieces and those strips always get cut off. You did a great job on this.
