As they say on the home dec shows on TV -- my taste is eclectic. A little bit of this and a little bit of that. Unfortunately, when I try to pull from my stash, there is always something missing. Usually the medium value. And then of course, that means a trip to the fabric store. Aw, shucks! :lol:

My favorites all tend to be a creamy off white background with smaller flowers, I especially like the multi colored flowers, in one print.

I love all fabric, but I'm gravitated to batiks. They tend to speak to me the most......buy me, buy me, buy me! :D
P.S. And I do!!!

Mainly florals, but I need to get out of that habit!

My favorite color has always been blue. A few years ago I made 3 very large all blue Trips Around the World. Now whenever I walk into a store I head there first. I did not think about it at first. But when I realized it I had to pull myself to the other colors. I do like green and beige so I concentrate on them also.

As far as the prints.........I like things that are not in straight lines. (in case I get sloppy with my cutting). Cute prints like doggies, or things like that.

I love muted floral.

But what I always look for is green. I have such a hard time finding anything pretty in green. It's like the manufactures come up with pretty patterns and designs for every other color :evil:

I love repos - I'm doing a dresden plate in 30's repos and then I'm going to be making a DJ in Civil War repos.

I also love dark fall colors, (Maybe that has to do something with I was born on the first day of fall ;) )
I love reproduction fabrics, and blues and dark greens. I do not like pastels, but other then that I love almost everything. :mrgreen:
