I mostly like fabrics/colors that can stand the test of time (cozy and relaxing). Six months ago, I looked at these bright modern prints and gagged. My last two projects have been so bright I need sunglasses. Hubby especially gagged over the turquoise/lime lap quilt. But, I've been having a ball and enjoy being out of my comfort zone.
Have to say though, I don't like batiks that are muddy/murky appearing, or fabrics that are yellowish green, brownish red, or redish purple. And, I despise anything with a sock monkey print or cabbage roses.
