I love green and all it's variations - turquoise, jade, mint etc. I'm about to make a special quilt for my sister's 70th and have bought a lot of tans which I know she'll like, but I'm finding it nearly impossible to find something to go with it as every time I look I keep getting drawn to fabrics with green in them. She HATES green! :)

"My" LQS ladies call me a batik freak....LOL
|
Isn't it something how much we all differ. I love Batiks and don't like bright colors.
|
Although I love blues and yellows, I don't think I'm drawn to them particularly. I love choosing fabric to fit the pattern and/or the person receiving the quilt. If I've just done a quilt in blues and yellows, then I am quick to choose another color combination to "switch" things up.
|
Blues and yellows and browns and pinks are my favorites.
|
I like to just start looking until something just jumps out and then will find other fabrics that blend...I never know what pattern or just how big I want to make a quilt...i just buy several yards of each and the rest is for scrappy quilts.....I just sew till i get there
|
I love them all with the exception of gray. I recently realized that I was cheating myself by not using enough white, so that is now my mission - more white on white!

I'm not overly drawn to civil war or 30's repro's although I've done quilts with both. While I'm not a 'batik freak', I've done quilts with many of those as well. I've done brights...I've done muted. For me, really just depends on the project at hand. |
I'm a country quilter myself. I really don't have a preference. I think I like 2 color quilts better. Whether it be pastels of darks it all depends on my mood.

I love any bright colors and would be my first choice always. But have some jelly rolls in greens that I am going to combine with cream for my next quilt. Red is my absolute favorite color, but have never made a quilt in reds....gonna have to fix that problem soon.
