May in Jersey

Most of the fabrics in my stash are one stack in my closet but when it comes to blues they total almost 3 stacks. I also always buy lots of WOW and Creams for background but they seem to go faster than all the blues. May in Jersey

I go for blues and fall colors. If they happen to have a floral print I can't pass those up.

I tend to go for colors that work with our decor, so no bright pinks or purples in my stash.

If your stash gives you green and rose, make a green and rose quilt! :-)

I gravitate towards black, white and brights!

Absolutely have this problem....browns, browns, and more browns. I think it's a normal phenomenon...at least I hope so. :)

I have a good balance of all colors in my stach and the only colors that I don't use to often is white or black. I tend to buy a lot of flowered fabric.

I think a lot of us have color favorites and buy more of these colors than any other. I love purple/lavender, etc. In my case this worked out well when my granddaughter asked me to make her a quilt and reminded me that she likes purple. So I do often get to use purple in my quilts. If I buy anything else, it's usually for a specific project.

Although I know there are colors we are each drawn to, I really believe that marketing has a huge influence on our
"choices". Just as in marketing clothing, what is promoted (and available)changes so that new colors/style look fresh or exciting. Thus, we buy.

I love (and buy) pinks and lime greens. One time I was in a quilt store while on vacation and picked up some fuschia and lime green thread. I mentioned to the lady that worked there that I seemed to always be running out of those thread colors. She said she wasn't surprised since it was similar to the colors of the bow tuck I was carrying! Until then it had never dawned on me that I always bought those colors.....I'm trying to buy more neutrals now....
