PINK!
Even though I'm a girl, I have never liked pink. Of course, I've never been a "girly girl" either....just a good old tomboy.
However, I do keep a very few small pieces of pink fabric in my stash because sometimes you just need a certain color to make everything look right.

Brown is my least favorite color, I just can not find it in myself to use brown for anything. I also greatly dislike pastels.

Oh same here, can't even buy yellow. But I see it everywhere and it looks so good, yet I can't touch it. Must be an aversion I have to the color. And it looks great in others projects.

its not about one color or another that I don't like, it is more of the color combos to me. when you put mustard yellow olive green and dirty brown together or with certain shades of orange it gives me a tummy ach. don't know why but it just reminds me of my kitchen and bathroom and my tummy does yucky stuff. probably because i hate my bathroom and kitchen.

for me red, orange, and yellow are hard for me to work wirh. the only time I use red is in a red and white quilt or red work. Yellow VERY sparing, and even less orange.

There's no colors I truly hate-I just don't like "muddy colors". I prefer clear colors and tend towards light and mid tones. But I do like a distinct contrast because I feel it shows off the piecing and quilting better

I have just the fabric for you (sarcasm)! It's a Hoffman kaliedoscope print in the big random zigzags of red, orange, and yellow :twisted: Actually, I have another fabric from them in a similar colorway, but with circles. When you do need it, it comes in handy having it. See below - the long spikes.

Actually, there are a lot of fabrics in that compass I would NEVER have used when I started quilting!

I completely agree I do not like working with PINK!! I have only a few peices in my stash. Once in a while someone asks me to make something and they request PINK ... all I can think of is "why did it have to be pink!".

I'd have to say white is my #1 least favorite with a very close second being purple.
