Solid or patterned?
#1
Okay, survey time... do you use mostly solid or patterned fabric for your quilting?
This question popped into my head last week when I was waiting in line for the cutting table at Joanne's. They are moving stores, so had a 75% off closeout. The lady behind me had tons of solids, I had tons of patterns. Needless to say, she "inspired" me to go get some colors (at $1.25 a yard, who can say no??)
I can't wait to read your responses!

I also like tone on tones as many of these "read" as a solid and I think they add more interest and eye movement to your quilt. However, if you have really busy blocks, a solid coloured sashing is exactly what you need. If you have the luxury of both at $1.25 a yard, why not?
