I love blue in varying shades but lately I have been buying a lot of reds and creams. I tend to shy away from anything with lots of brown. Seems too drab for me.

Your colors sound wonderful. Please take a picture of something you have done in teal and terra cotta and the others too. You like my kind of colors

I just seem to change favorite color schemes like one changes their socks -about the only colors I don't favor are pinks and purples but I have used them for special quilts for my favorite great-niece ( I only have 1)

Just as long as it is bright..!! I like light colors in any shade. My quilts have to be bright and happy.

I never use white, but a bold white/black print finds its way into every quilt I make, even if the rest of the fabrics are traditional or batik... :-D

I really like brights. And, almost any quilt I have seen here I love no matter what the colors. My own stash has lots of colors, but mostly brights.

Blue and yellow, although yellows are sometimes hard to find.

I love bright batiks in teal, purple, and blues. My other quilts have gone from soft blues with very little contrast, which was criticized when judged at a quilt show and shortly after that I saw lots of "blended" quilts. Was I a trendsetter and didn't know it? Probably not, but I tend to go for teals, purples and blues, unless I'm doing family reunion quilts which are mostly scrappy.
