    Ditto -not crazy about browns and oranges - especially orange. Oranges are for eating.

    I'm not to picky about colors...but I will not use solids!! If I have to have a color that is close to a solid..I find those colors with very small patterns! I love using autumn colors :) I try to broaden my color schemes though :)

    Ya know" I think we change with time. when I started out I loved greens, browns and oranges then I went through my purple , pink and black stage. Right now I think I love every color. I think its all in finding the right combination of color that is pleasing to you". If there is a color that you never work with I think you owe it to yourself to try using it. even if it is something small like a doll quilt" you might just be surprised. use your color wheel to put colors with it and see what you come up with.

    It's yellow for me. If I can avoid using yellow, I will. Yellow can make a statement when used in quilts, especially if it's too bright.
