    I like the ALL....I did say I hated orange, but now I have found some really pretty orange fabric that goes with a garage sale find a friend of mine found for me...Orange Oriental vintage fabric. Seems tho I am leaning to the greens, aquas, etc.

    I like many colors, but am always drawn to greens. I like fall colors with oranges, reds and of course greens. I also like deeper colors like burgundy, dark greens and blues. Not fussy over pastels, but I use them to give my darks more pop. What can I say, I just love fabric period!!

    If there's a color on a fabric, I probably like it. <G>

    I had to laugh the other day when a friend asked if I was ever drawn to fabric that i just had to buy it.
    At one shop hop i went on I bought this particular green fabric. When i got home and was laying out my purchases, i found that i had bought that same fabric at three different shops! Guess it did call my name. :thumbup:

    I've always wondered why certain colors and patterns appeal to us, and why others don't. For some reason, though I dearly love old patterns, "Grandmother's Flower Garden" doesn't do a thing for me. I wish I knew the answer, but don't know if it would change anything.
