Thanks MadQuilter, been trying to learn all the quilting acronyms.

When I go back through my fabrics, I find most of my fabrics were layed back. But lately, I find myself picking "snappier" fabrics - sometimes over the top for me and I love them.

I love fall colors and large floral prints.

I buy a lot of brights and warm tones... I guess I just can't make up my mind which I like best :D:D:D

let me put it this way i bought apiece of black material that had white poka dots the size of a fifty cent piece almost .just because i liked the way the material felt not the looks of it an my daughter who's 24 now seen it an fellin love with the silly stuff.my first thought was for it to gointo a black an white quilt.but i guess she changed my mind she likes theold pesant type shirts an I think thats what i'll make her out of it with medium length sleeves

Snappy I like bright colors and it is cheerful to sew with them.

I must be 'snappy' because I love batiks. But what I actually buy depends on what I'm making and who I'm making it for.

uh - if by laid back you mean muted, I would have to say snappy.
But I have so much that is somewhere in between. I like to do some things with pastels occassionally, and I love autumnal colors with the darks and then the goldens and oranges.
I'd say if I start doing something a little toned down, at some point I have to 'snap it up' :wink:

I like a mix....but do tend to gravitate more to the brighter fabrics. Even a darker colour can be "snappy" if it has intensity.

Definately snappy, love bright colors the brighter the better especially batiks. Pink is my favorite color so I have lots of pinks, but anything bright and bold I gravitate to it seems.!!!
