Not black and white , just black (anything that reads 80% black)

Not Neutrals, just split into whites or off white (again, anything that reads 80%white etc) ,

As for multies, we could split them into 2 swaps: dark and light backgrounds (these dont have 80% of anything

I am in for brown. It goes so well with all colors. Would like green too. I am in for any color.

Thanks Crispy! That drove me crazy. Amazing what sticks in the brain...I think it was pre1980 though...
I'm sort of asking about colors cuz I like to be prepared. I can do green with no shopping, but red and yellow I will need to buy. That's okay, those are holes in my stash that need filling
I will probably order from CT or thousands of bolts, and I like to do 1 big order and get free shipping. So, Red, what colors are still in the hat? Don't care what order they come in...

We still have green, red, brown, yellow, gray (or grey, lol), black/white, neutrals (creams). I am also thinking of doing a dual swap after all the standard colors are done. (say 7 of pinks, 7 of greens....polka dots....florals....etc). Lots to think of

Just so everyone knows, I don't pick them by what is asked for. To be fair (because I get a ton of emails asking for colors, but of course, most are different). So I truly just grab the next one out of the hat to keep it fair. If someone can think of a different way I am open to that, too

I plan on participating on all the colors, whether I need/want them or not...just because I love what others pick out. I have gained a new appreciation for different likes/styles from this swap. Opened up my mind to different things, so for me, that's a bonus!

You are definitely doing a great job, Red. With lots of people asking for their favorites, "out of the hat" seems like the best way to pick. I'm very grateful that you're willing to do all of this. Thank you!

That is one quirk of mine....I don't like grey. I think it drags colors down. I have seen wonderful things done with shadow boxes or modern quilts, but I can't get excited about grey....or gray, even.
