My tastes vary. I love blues/greens/purples together and have made a few in these colors. Sometimes I surprise myself when I buy fabric by choosing something I wouldn't ordinarily buy. Projects waiting in the wings are purples/pinks/greens, reds/creams, browns/pinks. I love batiks and use them frequently.

It all depends on the quilt, pattern, who it's for, the other fabrics in the quilt and so on. In other words, I can't think of a color I don't use.

I really like bright colors and jewel tone colors. I have quite a few prints and like to use modoa marbles as blenders, or a small print that read like a solid.

I am not a fan of 30's fabrics, or civil war reproduction fabrics.

Even though I like brights I am currently working on a lap quilt for my husband in beiges, browns, black/browns and I really like the combination.

MadQuilter

That has happened to me when I made a blue and white and a black and white. The high contrast drove me nuts and it took forever to finish them. I was soooo glad when they were done (even if they were pretty in the end).

Purple in every quilt and I don't care who it's for. It's my siganture color. I'm like MadQuilter, not many solids or batiks but am working on getting some solids just for a change of pace in the qiuilts. I do lean towards smaller prints but have some large floral that are stashed b/c I'm not sure what to do with them. I use lots of purples and blues which my stash reflects and minus orange I have just about color in the palette in my stash just less of some than others. I admit to not having much pink either as it's not a color I favor or even like.

My problem is I like EVERYTHING. No color is off limits to me. I am always looking at "things" for inspirations. Flowering containers, advertisements, clothing displays, and of course fabric.
I am working on a project that has warm brown, purple-red and some other earthy colors.

About the only color combo that I absolutly don't like is brown and pink :thumbdown: Red is my absolute favorite color, so I have a lot of that :lol: I also love batiks and have a good variety of them. I guess I have a good variety of most colors, small prints, large prints, thirtys. My favorite combo is red, white and blue. I guess it just depends on the mood I'm in when I'm buying, the pattern I have in mind and who it is for.

When I first started quilting, I would have said I hate orange and most shades of it (rust, peach, etc...). Now I would say, there really isn't a color I won't use. My biggest challege now is to make myself do a two color, two fabric quilt. Actually a 2 color quilt I would like to do, but limiting myself to 2 fabrics.....mmm I don't know if it will ever happen.

The brighter the better for me!

I use mostly clear colors. I tend to use the cooler shades. I have made a ton of quilts with purples and greens in them. Also lots of blues too. I have not used orange very much, and when I have it has been a brighter almost "cooler" orange. I don't really like the 30's fabrics or real "antiqued" ones. I never use solids (unless in a Downy quilt kit) I have even replaced solids in several block of the month kits I have done. I don't use muslin either.
