Oh ... I refuse to use anything that resembels "pepto-bismol" pink. Reminds me of too much of puking when I was a kid.

Don't know if this is a "color" I don't like or just a style but I don't care for Thimbleberries antique looking fabrics. Don't care for the tea stained look in any fabric. I like my colors brighter, clearer.

I like working with pretty much all colors, but I can't STAND solids, especially solid white.

Needless to say, I go through a LOT of blenders and tone-on-tone fabrics! :lol:

I would say grays, but it does depend on the other colors in the quilt. Sometimes a little gray might be perfect. However, it's not a color I'd intentionall go for.

I have no blue in my entire stash. Not that I don't like the color - because I do like it in when I see it in other quilts. I just gravitate towards the reds, greens, browns and creams. I made a purple quilt just to force myself out of my comfort zone and it is now probably my favorite quilt. So, next on my list of quilts to do is a scrappy blue and cream quilt.

I spoke too soon. While I won't wear blue, except jeans, my least favorite has to be gray. It does nothing for me.

I don't have any blues in my stash! It's not a comfortable color for me. I also would not work with grays. Too depressing.

I never cared for purple until I started quilting and noticed how pretty it was when used in a quilt. I recently made my DH an LSU quilt (purple/gold/white) and I thought I would be blind by the time I finished the binding.

I don't really like to work with what I'd call army green,grays, and blacks. I will if a customer wants those colors, but that's the only way. Oh, the exception is when I use them for accent colors like Santa's black boots and things like that.

I avoid blues, except for my patriotic quilts and wallhangings.
