I have been playing with the color wheel, reading about fabric selection, googling "how to select fabric for quilts," etc. But what it boils down to is that if it is a quilt for me, I prefer purple.
I should have know this already, as when I look in my clothes closet, purple and blue are the two colors I have lots of. (And purple is not that easy to find in clothes....)
Anyway, here is my latest purple quilt. It is a Rail Fence in three shades of purple. If you look around my sewing room, and even at my stash, you see lots of purple. How come it took me so long to figure this out.
Does anyone else have one color that just seems to be "their" color??

I had lots of color that were my colors but they did not include light colors, purple or orange. I finally realized I needed all colors to make the quilts I wanted to make. I now have a nice selection of purples and oranges as well as light colors and I am having so much more fun choosing fabric for quilts because I have more variety/options.
