I hate orange, I like some greens but definitely not lime, I also have a problem with yellow that has a lot orange in it. I love pastels, oriental fabrics and don't have any problem with dark colors. In fact I love prints with black, purple and navy as the background and the 1930's prints. Most geometrics drive me up the wall. In general, I don't like colors or patterns that scream at me. I like stuff that's restful to the eye. Guess I'm pretty picky. :twisted: I guess we all go with what seems to suit our personality. I love Sashiko, but I'm afraid my hand quilting is not up to snuff to do that.
