    Nope, no gray. It's not a color I like.

    I have very little gray, but need to make a quilt for a friend that has grey as its main color theme. The only way I will maintain interest is to use batiks. There are some good ( not alot)choices in greys in batiks.
    FYI - just about every( single) man I know wants grey , because they have grey carpet. I guess they are afraid that color will make them appear ....

    I use gray as any other neutral and I like the effect it has on the other colors. Right now, I think Gray and Teal and tourquoise are a beautiful combination

    I have a few pieces, but not much of any. I did make a black and white quilt and I notice that some small prints
    read as 'gray' when they are with larger portions or black
    or white. Looks okay to me though.

    I just bought some red/black/white with grey in it. It's very pretty. And, yes, I do have some very pretty grey also. Still don't know what I will make but it's there when I'm ready.I almost made an apron with it the other day but chose a different color (for my sister). Not sure she would have liked it.

    I just finished piecing a french braid quilt in several shades of gray with thin yellow accent borders and binding. It didn't excite me until I added the yellow. Very soothing pallette to work with.

    I bought some what I thought was gray fabric under the neon lights at the store, but when I got it home and compared it to some of the grays I had, they all looked bluish, and the piece I had just bought looked brownish.

    I have some greys, but I would love to have more. I have noticed that nice greys are traditionally very hard to find. I hope that changes soon!

    I have some, but have come to the conclusion that I don't have enough. Also started thinking that the one area seriously lacking in grey are batiks. I need to get some grey batiks :)
