I love the color combination of greens and purples together. I love batiks and love to work with them. About the time I say I don't like the 'muddy' colors I see a beautiful quilt and have to give these colors a try. I tend to stay away from the blues. I really don't like civil war fabrics and have never ever made anything with them or even thought of buying even1/4 yard of them. I see other quilts that use this fabric and thing\k "What a nice quilt" but have never wanted to make anything in those fabrics.
