It says I like bright and geometric fabrics, the brighter and bolder the better.

Bright color girl who likes to use them in a traditional setting. I thought I had all colors but when I went to pull fabric for my last quilt I realized I only had THREE pinks in my stash. I love pink so either I don't buy it too often or I use it quite a bit - I am going for the later. I have more blues in my stash than any other fabric which surprises me since I don't buy it too often. I am not an earth tone quilter, I really struggle to finish a quilt if I use those colors. And shock and horror I am not a batik fan - there I have said it.

modern girl here who loves yellows, teals, and blues. my scrap quilts are very controlled. tried pulling random scraps from a bag and sewing them together. HATED the quilt! gave it to my sister's pit bull Princess who loved it.

My scrapes say I'm a hoarder. All kinds of colors and types of fabric. I'm getting rid of a bunch of them though in a scrap log cabin. Even pieced the back with 1/2 sq. triangles .

Mine says I don't use much yellow or brown and that I use an awful lot more plain fabrics than prints. They also tell me they are fed up being crammed in bags and need using up!

This is Me.... Have been using Sissix to cut tumbler blocks from scraps. Hopefully they will turn into scrappy quilts.

Definite hoarder here! Low on reds, neutrals which says I've used them up ( a good thing!) High on everything else which says I need to get off the computer and on the sewing machine. Good sewing weather today and have a great day!

My scraps tell me I'm a brights gal. Definitely alot of aquas, greens and blues.

Mine say "can't figure her out. Guess she's eclectic. Scraps from some very fine silks to burlap and every color on earth". Just can't figure her out. ANd that is fine by me. Others often say that about me. I will tell you if you are right or wrong in the same breath and those around us. That may be why I get a little ADD about what to use. So many choices.
