I NEED to know more about the origami folding bias tape making method! :) I am clearly using the most tedious and hideously long method.<br />You're right about the purple, try a darker center and then a different edging:) But the rest is gorgeous!!

I will need to check into that more (and the bias tape maker). I am finally learning to use grayscale to check my fabric choices for quilts. Maybe that would help you decide for the purples?
