I think in all honesty we must have preferences. I was doing 'show and tell' with my new neighbour who also likes to quilt. Her quilts were mostly autumn tones - greens, browns, mustards. Mine were mostly pinks,navy blues,purples and light blues.

Love the greens and mauve colors and I also tend to move in that direction. My problem is other colors seem to never look right together. I have a very hard time with blue(my least favorite color), so when I want to use it I have someone else pick my fabrics.

Yes! Yes! Yes! I didn't realize it until I got organized, but you sure can tell that my favorite color is blue.

I found that I have more purple than any other color.Have bought some orange and used it with much difficulty.It is hard to step out side your comfort zone. Shop on.

I am a blue buyer!!!! I have 2 drawers full of blues, but little of other colors....I am in the process of making a brown and green quilt for my DH and am having trouble getting enough out of my stash, I have since added some tan fabrics but still searching......

And, YES go out and fix the problem, just stay away from the greens and roses and you'll be fine. :roll: :D :D
I agree - take a friend to help, though - it makes solving the problem LOTS more fun!

We all tend to have a favorite color we lean towards. Nothing wrong with it. What's funny though is now that I have gone more with batiks, my color is range has widened except for neutrals. :)

Right now, it's not so much color with me, as my stash is pretty much spread accross the board. It's polka dots, in any size, shape or color, be it a fq, yd, strips, whatever :!:
