I'm in the process of organizing my stash since I finally got shelves put in my room and I have a lot of orange, purples, blues, and browns!! I was a little surpriised about the oranges. I tend to buy what I like and figure it out later too and I buy what catches my eye. If I really love it, I think of it in terms of a focus fabric and buy a few yards figuring I can buy coordinating fabrics later. Intrestingly, because I tend to buy in the same color families, most of the fabric coordinates with stuff I already have! And they tend to be earthy, deep, rich and jewel tone colors.
