Barbara, I hear ya! I don't like purple either, but my sister sure does! In 2004, I made a 108" sq (that's right, 9 ft square) PURPLE quilt for her. I don't love purple, but I love my sister!
My sister's quilt, 2004 [ATTACH=CONFIG]71825[/ATTACH] |
My first quilt teacher said that if I didn't like a fabric, don't use it or that's all I'll see when I look at the finished project. Same goes for colors. Go with your favorite. My least favorite is yellow.

Yellow like the smiley faces.

I just finished a quilt last Thursday that has lots of purple,lavender and a purple rose print on white, it is beautiful and I can't think of any color I really hate. I would use about any color if the need arose.
I'm starting a quilt tomorrow with yellow,green,brown and a yellow floral, it will be beautiful also. |
I don't care for yellow part of it has to do with some thing I heard a long time ago. Orange is another maybe if I could find the right shade.
|
Tudey, the quilt you made your sister is Gorgeous!!! I love purple!
|
Orange, brown and blue-I rarely use them, not material colors I buy on impluse. I have a quilt I've been meaning to make for my aunt in orange, white and black (Allis Chalmers colors) I'm not sure she'll get it for Christmas!
|
I loathe screaming oranges and dark purple...I like soft peachy orange or soft lavender/lilac shades.
|
Mine was lime green.
I have a very dear friend that asked me to make her a quilt. She is a very special person so I said yes as long as it is not like green. Guess what??? That is her favorite color. :-( So off to the LQS to pick out colors. She picked out all of my least fav colors. But the more I worked on it the better it got. When it was finished she loved it and that is all that counts. |
Definately YELLOW!!! But over the last year, I've been learning to like it in certain situations especially when it highlights and contrasts with my favorite colors...

I made a wedding quilt for a newphew, and he and his new wife wanted purple, red and blue. Since they live in Alaska, i did a bear paw pattern. Lord 'o mercy - I dreaded working on that quilt. Some days I just couldn't work on it at all, other days I sewed like crazy to get it done. What's your color challenge? |
