The fashion industry has tried to tell us what colors we need to wear THIS year. The quilting fabric manufacturers have followed suit. I am sort of a nonconformist in that I wear what I like and I use what I want in quilts. I don't expect to enter my quilts in any juried shows, just give them to my favorite people, therefore I am free to use what I want for fabric and patterns. I don't let anyone tell me I can't so pooh, pooh, quilt police and fashion police! Quilt on!
