Amaranthine Everlasting is a collection of deep purple through bright violet to blue.  This 15-step color gradation of hand dyed cotton fabrics would be great, paired with a deep yellow, in a "Purple Mountains Majesty" landscape fiber art piece or a more traditional block pattern pieced quilt.  

"Amaranth" derives from Greek and refers to a long-lasting reddish flower.  This is what gives the word, amaranth, a second meaning; immortal.  One of Aesop's Fables refers to the flower:     

A Rose and an Amaranth blossomed side by side in a garden, and the Amaranth said to her neighbor, "How I envy you your beauty and your sweet scent! No wonder you are such a universal favorite." But the Rose replied with a shade of sadness in her voice, "Ah, my dear friend, I bloom but for a time: my petals soon wither and fall, and then I die. But your flowers never fade, even if they are cut; for they are everlasting."

The set consists of 15 separate blue to purple hues is available in 1/8 and 1/4 yard sets.  Larger sets can be custom dyed and take 2 to 3 weeks for delivery.  Be sure to ask any questions you may have via our HandDyedFabrics.com Contact Page!
