    Judging from the overabundance of cool colors in my stash, I'd say blue, green and purple. And probably 80% of my fabrics are batiks.

    I like reproduction 20's and 30's. I am also very attracted to blues and yellows. Batiks of any kind always catch my eye!

    If it is mauve, pink or green, I'm a sucker for it. I love that color combination.

    When I fabric shop I have a quilt in mind. Whether it is a 2,3,or 4 color quilt. I'll stop and look, not close tho, picture the quilt in my head and then go from there. I don't have any color I am drawn to. I did a red, black and white, then a brown, cream and burgandy, now I'm getting ready to do a moss green, black, pink and yellow. All the quilts have turned out quite pretty tho the colors are a tad unconventional.

    If I am making a baby quilt I pick a focus fabric and but what goes with it. Otherwise I am drawn to batiks and go for the greens and fall colors.
