I'm not a fan of 30's - particularly in Grandmother's flower garden, and I'm not too crazy about high contrast black and white. Those are hard for me to do. I prefer the fall colors, deep reds, greens, rust, purple, brown. Pattern is usually small. If large, then I generally like fussy cuts.
Thanks to the Monthly Bee Block swap, and the Boomerang Swap, I can challenge myself to work with all sorts of fabrics and preferences on a small scale. I did notice that I have NO solids and barely any batics.
