I have named this one Purple Gems. This is the first time that I have made a whole quilt with only two fabrics, and also the first that I have made with black as the background!
I really love how dramatic it is!
The story behind this quilt is special to me. For the last 2 years, I have been a leader in the Young Women's group at our church. I work with girls ages 12 - 18. The girls I work with are wonderful!! They work on a program full of goals and projects, and have all 6 years to complete it. The quilt today is for one of my girls who recently finished the entire program in just 2 years! I don't think I need to explain how awesome that is! It is a lot of work, and I am so proud of her!

The black really makes the pink pop- I love it! The back is cool, too. I do Activity Days (so I have the 8-11 girls before you get them at 12) :) 12 years is pretty impressive- holy cow
Wow, Lindsay! Great story for a very cool quilt. I like those dramatic colors.
Lindsay, this is so cool! The purple just pops with that black background. Congrats on the great finish!
This is so awesome! I love the purple, and I know the young woman who receives it will too!

It is just stunning! Perfect for a teenager too - so modern.
Stunningly zingy!!! LOVE it! It's so bold and strong like the teen must be! And the back is equally wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
