I love saturated colours. Kaffe etc.
I currently have a bin full of black, black and white and grey fabrics. Left overs from my son's quilt.
I was at a workshop a couple weeks ago where we were to use scraps and mix lights and darks. I has very few lights.
Almost all my quilting fabric is either Kaffe or Batiks.

1. I think I have plenty of greens, even though I am nearly finished with the blocks of an all-green queen. I'm sure I have the fewest purples, since I burned out on purple a few years ago (but that's another story!) I don't seem to buy enough yellow prints.
2. More darks and medium darks than light or mediums.
3. I always grab up paisleys when I see them, but also have plenty of water prints, having added lots of fat quarters after winning them in the 2015 RowbyRow.

I seem to be lacking in yellows and purples. Have plenty of in the red and blue families. Not too many kiddie fabrics as the baby quilts I make I think of having them used for many years to come. I do keep a good supply of blender fabrics and now starting to stock up on batiks as to me they're sort of a blender fabric too.........in a way. Try to keep a good stock of whites and beiges for backgrounds. Can't seem to find enough good blender fabrics in blacks and greys which seem to be the color this year. Love how these colors make other colors "POP".
