By looking at my stash, I can see that I'm drawn to blues, greens, teals, etc, which occupy a full shelf each, whereas browns, pinks, oranges, blacks and grays take up less than half a pile. Purples and burgundies are somewhere in between, but I've made 5 or 6 scrappy purple quilts so they've been well used. Burgundy is my favorite color and I love it in combinations with navy and cream, with green and gold, or just with tans.
