    I think in all honesty we must have preferences. I was doing 'show and tell' with my new neighbour who also likes to quilt. Her quilts were mostly autumn tones - greens, browns, mustards. Mine were mostly pinks,navy blues,purples and light blues.

    Love the greens and mauve colors and I also tend to move in that direction. My problem is other colors seem to never look right together. I have a very hard time with blue(my least favorite color), so when I want to use it I have someone else pick my fabrics.

    Yes! Yes! Yes! I didn't realize it until I got organized, but you sure can tell that my favorite color is blue.

    I found that I have more purple than any other color.Have bought some orange and used it with much difficulty.It is hard to step out side your comfort zone. Shop on.

    And, YES go out and fix the problem, just stay away from the greens and roses and you'll be fine. :roll: :D :D
    I agree - take a friend to help, though - it makes solving the problem LOTS more fun!

    We all tend to have a favorite color we lean towards. Nothing wrong with it. What's funny though is now that I have gone more with batiks, my color is range has widened except for neutrals. :)

    Right now, it's not so much color with me, as my stash is pretty much spread accross the board. It's polka dots, in any size, shape or color, be it a fq, yd, strips, whatever :!:
