BROWN! Yuck! It is so boring! I like taupe though. But when I see a quilt in brown and rust and green, I have to turn away. I just can't stand it. When there are so many gorgeous colors to pick from, why would someone pick brown.

I HATE orange, but my favorite colors are purple and green, and orange makes purple POP, so I use it. It has actually started growing on me and I find myself actually looking for it, but not the burnt orange of the 70s. I think the color I use the least in quilts is red. Love the intense jewel tones - ahhh Fairy Frost has some lovely deep colors that just glow!
Interesting how we seem to love one color and hate it's complimentary counterpart. In my first quilts (only been quilting 2.5 years) I would never use black and now I look for ways to include it in my quilts. Love the richness it lends to other colors!
