    I'm like quilting girl. Every Kansas Troubles fabric sings to me, and Holly Taylor by Moda with the lodge-y type fabrics is a close second. I only have brights if I'm making something for someone who likes them or for baby quilts. I do have a fair bit of 30's fabrics waiting for me to make a summer quilt, though.

    I like most colors, but browns. You won't find quilts that I do w/ browns in it.

    i am a black and white purist:

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]391012[/ATTACH]

    i don't use any other color on a black and white quilt. i have tubs and tubs of black and white, and rarely have i purchased a duplicate. i usually buy fat quarters or regular quarters unless there is a yardage minimum, which i may or may not take advantage of.

    this quilt is my own design.

    I so want a pretty floral "girly" quilt but keep buying and using autumn colored batiks! Love them too! I am just too slow to do all the things I want to do!

    Green is my thing also. My furniture is green so want quilts to match.
    Love black and white but it just wouldnt match.
    I need to branch out and make other colors even if I cant use them. Its all in the making isnt it?
    Im not a fan of blue and get frustrated with catalogs with all the kits in blues. Seems to be the most popular color.
    Loved blue when I was younger but found greens more to my liking as I got older.

    Love the looks of this quilt! I like to make my own designs too, so I can appreciate the work that goes in it. Do you draw them out by hand or can you vision the look with your blocks alone? I can draw my blocks with EQ7 instead of putting it on graph paper and then put them into my quilt. I noticed that when I put the colors in I often change them from my original thought. Even when I only do two colors. It always amazes me how placing the colors in another place can change the quilt. Great job!!!

    Greens and blues for me - they have to be part of the color scheme.
