I rarely use anything but blenders and solids. Moda Marbles and Bella solids make up the bulk of my stash, I buy both by the bolt.
I also have some Hoffman batiks, but don't use those as much... not much on the look of batiks in quilts unless it's applique.

I really like solids for my Amish quilts, and for a rest place in my quilts. I have gotten away from most calico prints, and fussy prints, I like hand dyed, solids, batiks, and mottled fabrics, as well as TOT.

I prefer blenders to solids, unless we're talking black. Black really does make other colors pop.
I just bought a yard each of four different Mark Lipinski's new blenders in Vermont today. I haven't seen them here in NH yet and they are gorgeous.

Do you prefer marbles/mottled fabrics, or tonal prints?
Are your tastes changing?
We've been noticing a trend, in our shop... but I wanted to ask "The Quilters" before I share what we've been seeing.

I strongely prefer tone on tone over solids for blenders.
The only solids I buy are kona black and kona red and solids for 1930-s fabrics. Have some in every color for that time frame but I only use them with my 1930 prints and sparingly.
I liked the fossil ferns, Hoffman batik and am at the end of a big stack of patrick loose fabric. For some reason the moda marbles do not appeal as much to me.
