Have you ever gotten tired of a color in your stash?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I like just about all colours....I have a lot of florals in my stash, but not enough blenders so I have decided for 12 months there are to be no more florals purchased (even if they are screaming "I'm a bargain....buy me".

YES! Today I was doing a clean sweep in my sewing room. Cleaning and reorganizing. I finally threw away some fabric I've had for at least 15 years and never used. I remember that when I bought it, I had yet to make my first quilt, but was collecting fabric. It felt so good to finally toss this fabric!

There are colors that I'm less fond of by themselves, but color never exists solely by itself. They all change depending on what they are close to and working with...much like some people I know. :lol: If you don't like purple by itself or with white, try it with red or blue or yellow. It'll change it's appearance and you may decide it isn't so bad after all. It's great with black, too. I keep some of everything in my stash because I work mostly in analgous color schemes. So even though I wouldn't use orange all by itself, I absolutely love it with reds and yellows. As they say, it's all relative! :D

I'll start... I eventually did tire of country blue. It was EVERYWHERE back when!
