Oh my.. I love patriotic quilts.. I've made lots of them. I like scrappy quilts and will use any color I have in them.. the more the better.. but I always go back to good old Red, White, and Blue.. I like traditional Red red and stark White, and Navy Blue.. but I also like the Americana colors too.. Burgandy, tan and deep blue.. I've never seen a quilt I don't like, but for me it's patriotic!

When I'm looking at fabric the purples and lavenders and greens seem to catch my eye.

All of them. Depends on what I'm making. I have trouble with solid orange (yes, I'm in TN, but we don't ALL like orange), and solid browns. If they are in a print I have no problem.
Just make mine country.

I love most fabrics and colors, except the dreaded 60's-90's prints and color combos. I am not a fan of paisley with green brown and orange. especially when the green is a sickly olive green. I do like the colors separately however.even combined in a quilt might be pretty depending on how they were combined.

Me too! I don't buy any solids. Love just about all colors but I gravitate towards the country prints. :thumbup:

Purples and greens and blues.
I like clear colors, not so much into the civil war, 1930's or antiqued colors.
