My family isn't into flowery prints so I stay away from those. Small flower sprays are ok in small pieces though. I go from pastels to brights. Textured patterns, filigree patterns to environmentals. I like making scrappy quilts with mostly pieces from my stash. My clothes are mainly jeans and t-shirts or tank tops. Blues are my go to color, but I like them all and my t-shirts reflect what my jeans do not! Comfortable, homey and welcoming I would think. :-)
