Here I go on the subject of favorite colors for my quilts. I have none! That being said I love blues and yellows, black and white prints, purples and green and yellow and pink. If you looked at my extensive stash, you would know I love all colors. I teach a color class. I have each person pick a focal colored print. Usually big bold with many colors in it. Then we shop the fat quarters or bolts if I do this class in a quilt shop. Then we all critique our choices. It helps so many learn how color works. How one color pulls us in when another pushes us away. I am fond of saying, I have never meet a color I didn't like. Yes we get into a comfort zone. You can tell by the scraps you have. I love scrap quilts for the very reason that they have many many colors. Bonnie Hunter uses multiple colors in her scrap quilts the more the merrier for her. Look at her web site for inspiration. It is difficult to come out of that comfort zone. So instead of a large quilt try new colors in a smaller project. Like seasonal table runners or purses or wall hangings. Start slowly and build to a bed size quilt. Soon you may be just like me. Meeting all the colors equally! Have fun. Luann
