deep jewel colors, fall colors, batiks, solids, and hand dyed,. Do not like plaids, strips, checks, polka dots, and red is very hard for me to use, unless it is in just red and white quilt. And I love fuchsia, purple, deep blues, teals,. I have been buying and dyeing some reds, fuchsia, lime green yellow and oranges for a quilt i want to do, really stepping out of my comfort zone on this one. I make all sizes quilts minis wall, and bed quilts, depends on my mood and what I want it for.
