I love blue, green and purple and I really love batiks! I don't care much for Civil War prints but I like 30's realy well. I don't buy jelly rolls or layer cakes, percut fabric in general unless I need FQ's for something. I rarely buy kits because I like to chose my own fabrics.

I am a scrappy quilter. I just reach into the bag, pull out a fabric and use it. No matter what color!When I do a lotto block then I have to purchase light fabric for the bakground. Does your guild do lotto blocks? That is a good way to try new things.. Branch out it is fun..Hugs

Everyone out there likes a different variety!! I love the autumn colors. Sage green, browns, golds, yellows, red and burgundy. But I LOVE civil war fabrics. I try to work outside my "comfort zone" so I'm currently working on "peacock" colors, with purple and green and blue. I've seen many different color combos in posted pics...I often think "wow...I never would have thought to use those colors together"....then marvel at how pretty it is!!

I wondered what everyone else thinks about combining colors for fabrics in a quilt. So what draws your eye when you buy fabric?
I am needing to branch out and explore new ideas for color. so any tips and sharing your likes and dislikes would be appreciated!
