I don't like drab colors - like the muddy browns in Moda Collections. There are only a few Moda collections I like. My favorites are bright, contemporary prints. I love Sue Zipkin's and Laurel Burch's prints, but not Kaffe Fasset's. I love batiks. Not so fond of Civil War and 1930's prints, but have seen some quilts that were done beautifully in both of those. I rarely work with solids. I like marbles or other blenders (yummy fusions!).
