I have been collecting fabric for years and I have found it has changed. I used to love calicos & country types of fabric. Now I find myself liking solids, batiks, etc.
I still plan to keep some of the older stuff but get rid of alot. How about you?

same here.I gave away a lot of fabric to the senior citizen center a fw months ago, because I know I will not use it.
I was like you loved country and calicos,now it is brights and the new prints,love Amy butler and everything bold.

Yes, just like everything else my tastes have changed over the years and just not for fabric. I used to love the country colors and furnishings. Now I'm in love with brights and batiks and minimal furnishings. I seem to like my details in my fabrics and simplicity in my house furnishings which makes for interesting "discussions" with hubby. :) He loves wall to wall furniture.

That is the way my taste is running...minimal ....I would love to bulldoze the living room...Too much heavy dark furniture, in fact too much crap period...

My taste changes all the time. Just whatever I buy.

Most definitely. Like the others, when I first started I loved calico's and country colors. Now batiks take center stage in my stash and I am in an Asian phase now. I still have some of my old calicos but I got rid of a lot. I kept a few that I thought would look good in scrappy quilts or that I had enough coordinating fabric to go with for a project.

My color tastes haven't changed much in the last 15 years, but the way those colors are used certainly has. I will say, however, that I have loved retro prints for a very long time (50's and 60's retro, specifically) and I don't anticipate that changing anytime soon.

Mine have changed. I used to collect a lot of florals and now I can't resist batiks. Fortunately I recently bought a book with some outstanding scrappy quilts that my "old" stash will be perfect for!
