I took the green pieces and threw them on the floor and got the green fabric off the table. Boy, did it look better. And now I'm in the mood to do this quilt. And tonight I took those blocks apart, threw away the green pieces and remade them. Now I'm cooking here. Does anyone else go through this or am I the only one who's nuts? Are there any colors you absolutely hate?

Cheryl, why work on something you know you don't like. I know, trying to branch out, but life is too short. Just think of all the colors that you DO like. Work with those.

I went fabric shopping today at our new LQS. Guess what I was looking for. GREENS. I saw so many that I liked, I told the owner I'd be back for her sale. And I also told her to call me if a certain piece was selling fast and would be gone before I return on the 20th. She said she'd call me and keep some for me. What a dear!! Blues and greens and any color in between (aquas) are my favorites. Isn't it great that God made us all different. It makes for an interesting world.

What is your favorite color?
