I think where I live has a big influence on my quilts I love horse and animal fabric and have a large collection in both fabric and patterns and in this area that is what seems to sell I also notice when I go to quilt shows there is a big difference in quilts in other areas

I do not - I will find something I love and make a quilt out of it - I don't really have a favorite color because with out all color what a boring world we would live in - I do novelty for kids and theme quilts for others my self if I love the fabric it will be used with stuff that works with it....

Maybe a little. I live in the foothills of the Smokies, and I usually choose traditional patterns. My favorite colors are blue, purple and rose which are the colors of my mountains. I also do a few more modern designs and colors, but those are my favorites.

Or if you live in the city, do your quilts have lots of straight lines and angles?
Desert quilters, are you using earthy colors?
If you live in the woods or on the prairie, are you drawn to greens and golds?

I live on the edge of the Deschutes National Forest in Central Oregon. I have collected pine tree and pine cone fabric for years. Here is link to the quilt I made for our guest room. I plan on making something with the same type of fabric for our bedroom.
