Frequently Asked Questions
The purple family map, completed?
Lilac (light floral) → Wild Lavender (muted matte) → Periwinkle (blue-violet) → Amethyst (cool jewel) → Tabriz Orchid (warm red-violet jewel). Tabriz is the warm deep corner — fuchsia-leaning purples and orchids that make Amethyst read blue.
Tabriz or Amethyst on a jewel purple?
Undertone — the warm/cool fork of the deep purples: red-violet and orchid fabrics take Tabriz; blue-violet royals take Amethyst. Hold both; one glows, one greys.
Its show-quilt register?
The opulence thread — Glide luster on deep jewel tones reads as gemstone against the fabric, the effect competition jewel-tone quilts are built around.
The Paisley Indigo interaction?
A deliberate layered pairing — warm orchid quilting over deep indigo reads as woven-carpet richness rather than blending; the ATXSH Paisley house move.
Bobbin pairing?
Matched deep orchid over dark backs; Black Magna-Glide under true-dark backings.
