What's your fabric "personality"?

I rarely go for large floral print and definately no pink. I even have a lady on Harley motorbike and a man with a five pack and trunks.otherwise my selection depends on the pattern I'm doing so mainly very. Wide.

I dislike florals, and don't really like 1930's or civil war fabrics, although I do like some large florals like might be in a man's Hawaiian shirt. My colors tend to be in the purple to blue range, including some greens and teals. I have a hard time buying red, orange and yellow fabrics, although the yellow goes nicely with some blues and greens. I like mottled prints, batiks, and fabrics like that; love geometrics. I like bright colors, and have a hard time buying lighter fabrics and pastels, although I know I need them for contrast I like some themed fabrics, mostly cats and music. I don't do many quilts with Christmas fabrics because I do mostly bed sized quilts and I can't see having a quilt for only a month or so. I have made some Christmas runners and potholders ad wall hangings. I don't use much black, except for those who really like it.

My favorite colors are the cool side of the spectrum from burgundy through purple on to blues and greens.
I love Asian prints, batiks, tropical prints, nature designs, swirly designs, etc.
Like someone earlier stated, I'm trying to build my stash of blenders to go with all my fun stuff.

I have just about everything in my stash.
But my FAVORITES are purple, yellow and bright colors.
My LEAST amount for color is orange even though I love
the color also.
My least favorite color is brown and olive/drab green, so I tend
to not buy any of those colors unless I am needing them for a
project.
Also I don't like the 30's-60's reproductions or the civil war colors
(muddy dull colors).

I always go for the pinks and greens. To counteract that I don't buy fabric unless I have a project in mind, otherwise all I would have would be pink and green fabric with large floral prints. Right now I'm in the middle of quilting a black and green carpenters star, I have a blue and yellow quilt for my sister waiting its turn under the needle, and I have the fabrics laid out to cut for a Pittsburgh Steeler's quilt for my brother. No pink and green quilts in sight!

I have pretty specific tastes in fabrics - i don't like batiks, what I call "realistic florals", anything theme related, tone on tone, civil war or the like. What I love are big prints, anything with a white background that isn't something I don't like (LOL) 1930's and 40's prints, anything geometric like dots, plaids, stripes etc and sooo many of the new modern fabrics - think Lori Holt, Camille Roskelly, Allison Harris etc.
