Hmmm interesting thought! I'm a blonde with just a hint of red, and my skin has yellow undertones so I definitely don't look good in bright colors! Tans, browns, olive greens, creams, earthy colors are what look best on me. And I like to wear solids more than prints because I can accessorize them or dress them up in more ways, and match them with more items in my wardrobe.
I also agree about making quilts for others so THEY would like it! I would make a quilt for my mother or sister completely differently from one I would make for myself! And I'm making one for my husband right now, but I tell you what it was the biggest pain in the rear coming up with a pattern and color scheme that he would like and that I could live with on our bed! :mrgreen:
