I love solids. Years ago, when my mom and were taking our first quilt classes, in the late 70's, we took a class making I think its called Around the World. The instructor gave us a list of colors to purchase, all solid. We purchased separately and at different places, as did the other attendees. The variety of interpretation of say light green or turquoise was astounding and began my love of solids. My go-to box for that little splash of color or contrast is filled with only solids, most from other quilts I have made in solids.
