not a fan of Kaffe Fasset fabrics, i actually love to look at his stuff, but the fabrics are just...too much ...for me; busy, mind=boggling.
i do know a number of people who do not like working with batiks;
for me it's the busy, busy. i like to come up with the design, not have the fabric be the design.
and i really have to push myself to work with most novelties.

I'm the direct opposite. I can't tolerate Thimbleberries. But I'm from MN where the designer is from and we got saturated early on. But I love the batiks. Haven't met one I didn't like. I do like Robyn Pandolph's lines and anything with lots of colors. It takes all of us to make the world go 'round.

I love color. Brights, prints, solids. Goldtones, batiks. I would be happy to have a whole bunch of it so I could keep on quilting. I think the bright colors are just happy and joyful. The darks are nice too and if they were mixed with goldtones or whites, I think they look great.
It all works for me. I've come across some prints that are just plain ugly, but I think no matter the print or color, something good can come out of it with a little creativity.

I hate ugly, muddy colors, like yellowy-browny-green and lavender that has too much gray, and old-cheese-orange and browns that look like my lawn after the snow melts off it.
So glad I got that off my chest! :roll:

I don't like anything with a paisley print, houses and large prints of anything. I like the calico's just didn't realize it til I saw what calico was and it seems I have a lot of it. I like Batiks depending on what it looks likes. If it has a sunflower on it it's mine. I also like some of the 30's repro's. I am really not particular.
