Over the years I've made a conscious effort to keep a full range of colors AND values in my stash. Right now I'm lower on some solids than I'd like - orange, yellow, pinks, blue - because I've been working on modern quilts for myself and for the community quilt program in our guild. Need to look into adding to those colors cheaply.

True reds are missing and I like red. Lots of greens, blues, browns. But then, I do love nature colors especially trees/leaves. Also don't do much in the line of pastel quilts.

I just had this conversation with one of my daughters. A friend of hers is expecting her first baby in December, & they don't want to know in advance if it's a boy or girl. So my daughter decided to find out what colors & -- you guessed it -- I don't have any grays or yellows. However, I popped into JoAnn's last night, & I now have too many grays!

And I haven't even picked out a pattern yet! The shower is in October. I have to get busy -- soon!
