A quick note about judging. The judging process is truly a subjective one. Everyone has different tastes and favorites. Even if you didn’t win, that doesn’t mean your work is somehow lesser than the winners. It just means that something in a particular quilt spoke to that particular judge. If we all liked the same things, we’d all make the same quilts, and that’d be incredibly dull. So please keep that in mind if you didn’t win! We think you’re awesome for entering!
So without further ado, here are our winners!

Thanks for hosting this! And congrats to everyone who made a quilt! They were all so fun to look at!
Thanks for sharing all these gorgeous works of art.
My purple fabric stash is the largest of all my colors so Pantone's choice for the year made me a happy happy sewist. I have yards of purple and have been using it for years in everything I make. My recipients are well accustomed to the various hues, shades and tints of purple which find their way into my stuff and no one has complained yet. My current two pieces are mostly purple again...
Well done awesome winners, and thank you fabulous hosts xxx
I'm so glad this happened! So fancy to see so much of the purple family come to the party. Thanks to our fab hosts, the wonderful judges, and big, loud applause to the winners! Woo!
Thank you, ladies, for all your work in putting this challenge together - there were so many amazing entries.

Thank you so much for hosting, Adrianne, along with Anne! I really enjoyed working on the challenge and seeing others' creations. Congratulations to all the winners!
All the quilts are winners! It's so interesting what can be done based off one color. Can't wait to see (and hopefully enter) what next year's color inspires.
