I so much agree with you Bear. Most of my piecing is now done with whatever color is on the machine. The one issue I have is that I will never sew black fabric with black thread, anything bar whites or yellow. or using dark colors on light fabrics. Am rather fussy about points, don't like to loose them.
I haven't sewn a stitch for 18 months due to health problems, and seem to have lost interest. Hopefully that will change now Spring has arrived here.
