My favorite color has always been blue. A few years ago I made 3 very large all blue Trips Around the World. Now whenever I walk into a store I head there first. I did not think about it at first. But when I realized it I had to pull myself to the other colors. I do like green and beige so I concentrate on them also.
As far as the prints.........I like things that are not in straight lines. (in case I get sloppy with my cutting). Cute prints like doggies, or things like that.
