When I was waiting to pick up my quilt from a recent show, I had "release #147" so I saw quite a few quilts being picked up my their makers. I noticed that the lady with the purple shirt, purple purse and, yes, purple hair (no kidding!) picked up a purple quilt. Then I noticed the red headed lady, and red heads look good in olive, and she was wearing olive, picked up the quilt of koi/goldfish on olive background. I'm a winter, and always gravitate to rose, purple, and jewel tones. I took a class and used others scraps, and ventured out of my comfort zone creating an olive and brown piece. And I look like I died in olive, so I never buy it.
You know that purple hair thing...maybe she didn't know her hair was indeed purple....well I have a cataract, which, doesn't seem to bother me....ha, ha, or does it, and I don't know it??? When my mother had her cataract removed, she exclaimed at how bright everything was.....hummmm.....I'm going to be one of those old ladies not knowing that the red lipstick is scruffing into the 'stache (pronounced: stash) - yes ladies, we all probably have more than just a fabric 'stache...

I buy a lot of blues and greens- and purples- when i need other colors for a project i almost always have to purchase them :-D
Buying sets of fat quarters will expand your colors-I've even got some crazy colors free as a bonus with purchase that worked well as binding strips so they were not too overpowering

a friend that I knew had a photo album that fit in her purse and she sniped a peice off every thing she had, and when she used it all up she would discard that peice out of the album............just thought you all might like to know.
