After looking in 2-3 places, I can usually find the shade of whatever color I need.
Last wk I was stumped trying to find rose color yardage.The stores have pale pink,hot pink,reddish pink ,a purple pink....but no rose.
Was afraid to trust colors on line & finally bought the 2yds I needed. It's close, but still not the perfect rose. :roll: :roll:

For awhile I could find a lot of purple, but right now it is hard to find.

Colors go in and out of style regularly. For a long time it was impossible to find yellows. That's one reason why quilters build a "stash".

Usually the color I need to finish off an almost complete quilt.

I think the raspberries and the orchids are the hardest to find, personally. When i like something, I really want a very distinctive shade of it.
I am getting better at finding things online, but you can only tell to a degree. I'm not picky, I just care a lot, lol! :XD:

Every year the palette changes... I have been collecting a particular shade of turquoise and lavendar for 4 years now... It will take me 25 years to get what I need at this rate :roll: :lol::lol: :D:D:D

Whatever color you really need!! Or that's the case for me.

Reds are hard to find. There are lots of reds but never in the shade I want/need at the time.

Amen to that :thumbup:

I have been looking for peach. All I find is either too yellow or too prange or too pink
