It depends on the area. In Pennsylvania they use the reds and yellows. Here in Kalona Iowa I guess they don't. The lady I sell to is not Amish but it is a tourist area that uses the quilts as it's main marketing promotion. It is the center of a large Amish community so I guess she wants my stuff to reflect that. She asked me not to use reds yellows or browns or what she terms Easter colors. So I have been using and focusing on the darker colors since 98. I like the dark darks and the light lights as it is great contrast and patterns tend to jump out at you. But I am trying to branch out more now that I am selling online and hoping to do other things as well.
Thanks for explaining that to me. I live around Hutterites and I never see them make anything yellow or red. I never really paid attention to that until you mentioned it.
I'm glad your branching out. Those are great colors.
You do awesome work

In some of the literature they post in Kalona on the Amish they don't use bright colors as that is vane. It is seen as being showoffy.
