Its like I'm a Goth quilter designing for a Hot Topic store.
I'd like to see who else on here is attacted to black fabrics and dark quilts. Can't be the only one, right?
My favorite color is black - I am 5'8" tall and have a 33" inseam - which means that it is hard to find pants that are long enough.
I usually go to Beall's outlet, TJ Maxx, Ross, Marshall or outlet stores - I walk down the rows of pants to find th lonest to try on. Generally speaking they are black.
I find that black pants, with a black top and a bright colored jacket or accessory reall pops out the accent color.
I think it works that same way with quilts. I just love jewel tones in quilts.
