    The post I've Got the Blues, Baby by n2scraplvr got me to wondering. When you choose fabric colors or patterns do you find that you gravitate to a particular color pallet or pattern kind? You know, blues, greens, pinks, lg. florals, small florals, ect. I find even though it isn't my favorite colors I tend to gravitate to fabrics with pinks, browns or blues. While I prefer small prints, I tend to gravitate to the bolder pints.

    I am always drawn to the very dark colors and the very light colors, which is probably why I love Kansas Troubles fabrics. :) Although, I have to admit, when it comes to a "sale" I will buy fabric colors that aren't usually in this category!

    I have no idea! I try to get a little of everything. I usually buy fabric with a person in mind and just get what makes me think of them :)
