I love orange! Maybe there is something we can trade for. I have about 6 yards of farm fabric with animals and all or maybe something else?
LOL Look at my avatar. Even my poor kids can't escape my love for orange.

It's one thing if they're used for a pictoral scene - needing something to look like the sky, for example, but just a traditional quilt using batiks? I'm just not a fan of that fabric. I've never bought any, and doubt I ever will. Am I alone?
What about everyone else? Anything you don't like? Batiks? Civil War repro? 30's? solids? Do you like everything, especially if it's on sale?

I don't really care for Batiks either. My Sister loves them. She sticks more to the muted colors. (I call them boring) I like the bright slap you in the face colors! :lol:

Ummm No! It adds some color to your life. :lol:

I don't like color combinations that are muddy. For instance - the Robert Kaufman Chirp line has cute patterns but flat colors.
I prefer colors that pop - along the lines of Laurel Burch's designs.
I like some batiks, but not others - again, back to muddy/murky/flat colors and color combinations.
Cheers, K

When I started quilting I didn't like 30s fabric. Joined a block of the month that was 30s print. Now I love it. Enjoy batiks and pastels. Don't like Civil war or dark , but I have used then in quilts for male relatives. When I make a quilt for me, it is all pastels. Can't imagine making a Thimbelberries quilt. that being said, I might change my mind sometime.
