Hey leatheflea - I too am way too emotional and sometimes get carried away in my love of fabrics. One time I made an extremely dark strip quilt (during my cancer radiation treatments). I really hated it and hated to even give it away because of how I felt during the quilting process. But someone surely will enjoy it not knowing what I was going through at the time. Generally my charity quilts are of bright primary colors. I am trying to work out of my comfort zone and do some light yellows and pinks however.
