All my quilts have black in them, so I guess they shout out that I'm a Goth. The few I've made without black have been really hard to finish, and I've had to rip apart the ones I tried to start with white -- so very bizarre! I cannot for the life of me do a scrappy one, although I've tried and like the ones others do -- just gotta have more control for my own. I also like bright colors and batiks, and modern patterns more than real traditional ones.
