I think I like muddied colors, and I buy them, but somehow they never make it into my quilts! I always choose clear colors! I like lots of variations of each color in my quilts, no two or three fabric projects for me. I love the pastel 30's look, and especially like butter yellows and mint greens. I also like the Civil War reproductions, just for the historical value and insight. The only color I have and use little of is orange. (gag me!) Sometimes I like monochromatic quilts, and find they look really nice if you use every possible variation of that color. For example, if you make a "purple" quilt, use pinkish purples, reddish purples, almost black purples, purples which are muddy, lavenders so light they are almost white, bluish purples, just anything which is even just a little bit "purple". The resultant quilt really sparkles, even though it's all one "color".

I have not used Batiks and I am all ready tired of them. Mostly I like traditional patterns. Maybe when or if I complete all that I want to do; I can branch out.
I am not overly religious but when I look out my window I see that GOD chose green as a background color. That is good enough for me.
