I never seem to buy whites or blacks, solid or print. Don't know why.

You have touched your unconscious inner mind with your analytical outer vision: you are buying the color of your name: ROSE mary. You call yourself Rosie, right?

I have an herb in my garden that is lovely dark GREEN, called Rosemary.

My intuition says it is time you made a quilt especially for you to keep. One that embodies all your inner dreams, wishes and aspirations, a work of art. And I don't consider it a problem at all; it is a spontaneous growing message just for you.

ROFLOL - mine is blue - any shade. Once a year I go on a real binge - write downt he colors I am "short" in and try to get only those'

everybody has their favorites

Lately I've been drawn to the Asian fabrics, I have made one quilt with them and I really like the deep bold colors.

I think we all have certain colors we like and buy more of. I like greens and browns. Since I make quilts for family (I have a large extended family) and friends I buy the colors they like to make quilts for them, so my stash is fairly well rounded. I am low on yellow and orange. They are harder to find I think and I use them to add zing to quilts.

I had the same problem with blues and greens. When I was going on a shop hop with friends, I made note of what colors I was lacking, and that was my mission for the trip. Try to buy only the colors that I was lacking in. It worked for me.

I tend to buy my favorite colors so sometimes I buy colors I don't like at all. It gives the quilt more interest.

I say that any excuse to buy fabric is a good one.

I realized one day that I had all reds, pinks, and blues and almost no orange. I made it a rule when I was in a fabric store that I couldn't buy those colors, or that I could only buy orange. Now my stash is fairly even.
