I like small prints, flowers, animals, etc. I don't like baticks but if they come in a packet, then I will use them up quick to clear them out. Talking about stashes. I have for many years, cut 5 inch squares out of pieces left over from projects. SOOOOOOOOOOO- I end up with a carry on suitcase of 5 inch squares. I saw an idea somewhere, what you could do something with them except just squares. It incorporated tiny Bow ties, Drunkers Path and others. So now in my pre-move days, I make tiny blocks and just sew them together. As long as they are the same size, who cares what pattern I use. It actually is a lot of fun doing this.

I'm drawn to pastels. Also tone-on-tones, no matter their color value.

curious, i notice that you are in boston, where abouts?

What ever takes my fancy when I have a design worked out. I love batiks and will add to stash when I find some on sale.
Sale fabrics are my favorites. grin. Cotton Satine by the bolt as I use that for dying and painting.

My stash is so large with all of it,I usually dont have to buy unless I Need a special color or print to go with something in my stash. UNTIL a friend turned me on to batiks fot my needleturn appllique. I could never afford them and now if I find them on sale have to have it.

I went on an adventure and went to all the fabric stores here in Omaha and now I have lots lots of fabric. I am trying to hold off buying more until my quilt for the kids is done for Christmas. I still have one more shop to visit and I might have to go since they are giving away a fat quarter if you bring in new underwear for the Share program. I love anything fabric designed by "Blackbird Design" which is under MODA. Highly recommend their Country Inn and Garden Club books. :-P

I love fabrics...I buy whatever catches my eye....I have alot of batiks and alot of brights for making the grandkids quilts but I love moda marbles and have 70 colors of those and I have been using alot of fusions....so I guess its back to what I said...I buy what catches my eye...blessings

I'm usually drawn to blues. Lately I lust after batiks, nature/camping/outdoors (evergreens, leaves, river rocks, pinecones, sky, beach, etc), and tone on tones.

I have a pretty good sized collection of focal fabrics, so I usually buy blenders and solids too use in sashings and bindings. But there is always a new fabric in that LQS that I just have to have a couple of yards of

I tend to buy blacks mostly, trying to use up my stash before it is way out of date.
