What colors are "missing" from your stash?
I have very little yellow or gray.
I have lots of blue, red tones (not much "true" red), and greens. |
I think I've got them all! I have too much fabric in my stash (is that okay to say here?) LOL
|
I dont have red, black and grey.
|
Browns, and although the it not a color I really don't care for civil war repros
|
I love browns.....and I have no gray or much green, but I am taking donations. lol
|
Black...for some reason I don't think of black fabric when making purchases but I love it in some patterns as it makes the other colors pop.
|
I don't believe I have any lime green (we used to call it poison green back in the day and I had a raincoat that was that color).
|
We have very little yellow and red, and we're always having to buy black and/or white.
|
Pink, can't stand it!
|
Very little brown, yellow, or orange.
|
I have a little of everything. just a little.
|
Not much yellow or grey, so I've been slowly adding those to the mix.
|
My stash is mostly left over fabric from quilts so I don't have specific colors. I did notice when I needed brown for a twister quilt I had very little. Most of the fabric I buy for a future project is a theme fabric i.e.: Christmas, Halloween or Kids'. But since I have started so much embroidery I have bought white shirting fabric and black. It seems whenever I need black in a quilt I am just a bit shy or it's spring and very hard to find. So I have now bought several yards to keep on hand.
|
Not much brown, or red.
Have used up grays, black, and white-on-white..... |
no Browns, either solid or print.
|
I have very little blue, pink or purple. I have a ton of green and red and quite a bit of black and yellow. Almost no orange.
|
Very littel yellow or brown. I don't like yellow and I don't use much brown. Gray is another color I don't have much of.
|
Not much orange or pink, have just about everything else I think!!
|
I have no pink or gray or bright red
|
Whatever I really want at the time is what seems to be missing.
|
Over the years I've made a conscious effort to keep a full range of colors AND values in my stash. Right now I'm lower on some solids than I'd like - orange, yellow, pinks, blue - because I've been working on modern quilts for myself and for the community quilt program in our guild. Need to look into adding to those colors cheaply.

Purples, they are on my buy list ONLY when I'm making a quilt for some one that is gagga over it.

Jan in VA Just a thought to help you spend money. |
grey and orange
|
I need more grey going to do a quilt for our new car , (back seat) so now have to be on the look out for grey .
|
I definitely need more Greys. I have no turquoise or teal. other than those I'm good.
|
True reds are missing and I like red. Lots of greens, blues, browns. But then, I do love nature colors especially trees/leaves. Also don't do much in the line of pastel quilts.
|
I just had this conversation with one of my daughters. A friend of hers is expecting her first baby in December, & they don't want to know in advance if it's a boy or girl. So my daughter decided to find out what colors & -- you guessed it -- I don't have any grays or yellows. However, I popped into JoAnn's last night, & I now have too many grays!
And I haven't even picked out a pattern yet! The shower is in October. I have to get busy -- soon! |
I am not a brown fan so had practically nothing in my stash but sometimes you really do need some. Our guild had a sale of one of our member's collections and I bought her whole brown bin! Problem solved.

I have some of every color, actually a great deal more than some in most.
|
Browns and tans, love all other colors so have lots of everything else
|
No browns.....

I had colors missing from my stash (mostly pink). I decided that i should add some of them to my stash to "round it out." What I discovered is that I don't use these hole fixers. So I have a bunch of fabrics now that I will likely donate someday in the not too distant future. I'd rather donate them as quilts, but I don't see myself ever finding a place for them.
So learn from me. If you think the "holes" in your stash need to be fixed, think twice about the reason the holes exist at all. |
I find the most "holes" are the fabric stash I use all the time and have to replace often. I think that when you start a project is when you have to go on a shopping trip, not before just to have it on hand.
That being said, I have a bulging stash out of control because of the fabric store going out of business sales. |
My stash was mostly bright, cheerful colors with a lot of pastels also - absolutely no dark colors. So, I inherited my BFF's very large stash when she passed away and there are only dark, drab colors - so now, I have it all. She worked at a quilt shop and was "paid" with fabric but always chose the dark, jewel tones.
|
Yellow, orange, red, and green.
|
Not too much red or brown but I am looking to add those. I really need more solids I seem to have a ton of prints but I have most other colors.
