Pansy and Primary are my favorites. What are you going to do with them?

PurplePassion 09-03-2010 06:49 AM

Wellllll, all of them , except the pumpkin. How much are you selling them for ?

Favorite Fabrics 09-03-2010 06:49 AM

I'm considering buying them for our shop.

Since batiks are "all about color"... I'm trying not to be overly influenced by my own color preferences, which is why I'm hoping to get other opinions.

I like them all, can never have enough batiks in a stash (or store).

dvseals 09-03-2010 06:52 AM

I like all of them but the top 5 are my picks

I don't even know what our cost will be yet... the sales rep is coming next Thursday and I can find out then. I think that these multi-color batiks are going to be more expensive than, say Hoffman 1895 watercolors or any monochromatic batiks. I find the multiple colors more interesting, but that's just me. I wonder if others find the multi-colors more, or less, useful than the ones that "read more solid"?

Purple, pansy, evening, caribbean are my favorites. But I'm a blue & purple kind of person..;-)

Annaquilts 09-03-2010 06:54 AM

Pansy and Caribean

paintmejudy 09-03-2010 06:55 AM

Purple, pansy, emerald and harvest all get my vote

winipb2 09-03-2010 06:55 AM

Choose? I would have to have them all.

wolph33 09-03-2010 06:57 AM

I love them all-but blues are my fav

Favorite Fabrics 09-03-2010 06:59 AM

Do you think there are too many colors going on in "primary"?

Candace 09-03-2010 07:00 AM

I agree, the top 5 would be my picks.

There are alot of colors, yes. But I am sure someone will find just the right use for it.

leaha 09-03-2010 07:09 AM

love them all!

Quilting Di 09-03-2010 07:10 AM

I like them all except primary.

scoobertina 09-03-2010 07:12 AM

pansy and caribbean are my favorites.. and I don't dislike any of them..

AlienQuilter 09-03-2010 07:14 AM

The top five are my favorites.

I wonder how they would do with the tube quilting method? Or making a spiderweb design.

fabric_fancy 09-03-2010 07:14 AM

i would buy 3 yards of the entire set

nlgh 09-03-2010 07:15 AM

I think you should put them all in your shop. I have been looking for "water" to use in a quilt I am planning and the last two would work for sunlight highlights. I probably would buy both for the one quilt, but there are people who like yellows and oranges. I think I would buy less of them than the other colors when stocking my shelves.

hobo2000 09-03-2010 07:19 AM

I love them all but I could really use "primary" in a quilt that I am getting ready to start. Are they as stripey (is that a word?lol) If so I have been wanting to do 2 quilts of Kaffe Fassett but really didn't want to use real stripes. These would work great. Can't wait for your store to open..

twinkie 09-03-2010 07:24 AM

Are you going to sell these?

Fiber Artist 09-03-2010 07:24 AM

Love them all!!!

DebraK 09-03-2010 07:25 AM

I'm no help. I would use all of those.

I agree with you. I love the first 5 or 6

Mariposa 09-03-2010 07:27 AM

My faves are Pansy, Caribbean, purple, and emerald. Do not care for the pumpkin. All of them would have some use in our projects! Pretty!

IBQLTN 09-03-2010 07:31 AM

I like them all. Pumpkin might do well since it's fall. I love the purple and the carribean the best. The 'biggie' will be to pair them with something that works well together!

For my purpose there are too many colors going on in Primary.
Love the others with the blues, greens and even the purple getting top of the rating scale.

Lynneander 09-03-2010 07:37 AM

I like them all, but the blue/purple ones are my favorites. With fall approaching, is it too late to order the oranges?

Sadiemae 09-03-2010 07:47 AM

Pansy and Primary for sure!

Lisa_wanna_b_quilter 09-03-2010 07:57 AM

I vote caribbean and emerald. They are beautiful.

kwiltkrazy 09-03-2010 08:11 AM

primary, emerald, and purple are my favorites, buat I would use everyone of these. They are fantastic!

amma 09-03-2010 08:13 AM

I love them all, and could find a use for them all too :D:D:D

Ritzquilts 09-03-2010 08:16 AM

There not an ungly in there for me...For it to be ugly it needs to be grey and dull with dull colors mix in it...Yes a shop needs some ugleys for sure...You have to put them in your quilt so the other fabrics will shine

Friendly Quilter 09-03-2010 08:18 AM

I like them all.

clem55 09-03-2010 09:10 AM

From Pansy to the primary!! A little too much in the primary for my own taste., don"t care for the purple or the "fall"ones at all.

ranger 09-03-2010 09:34 AM

I like the first 5 the best but I also like the 'fall' colors of the pumpkin and harvest. Not fond of the primary.

LeslieSkelly 09-03-2010 09:34 AM

Primary and harvest do not float my boat! But all the others do! :-)
