How do you feel about solids?

I still find too many solids in large pieces make for a flat quilt (bc/ I've seen some minis that are very cute). Maybe it's b/c my quilting isn't good enough show off on a solid background. Maybe it's b/c I love the variations that come from batiks.

Not tipically a fan of solids, prefering a tone on tone. Maybe because there was a time when 100 percent cottons were very hard to find in anything other than a slim selection of calico's and some solids. I made my share of quilts with solids and just am too facinated with the HUGE selection of prints that seem to get even better every year.

I use solids all the time....either in a bargello where I want no print or very little....or in regular quilt blocks where I want one piece of the block to stand out.....I really am not a fan of large prints, it seems that you need a large block of print by itself in order for it to look good....but that is just me

The recent thread about batiks inspired me to ask this. How do you feel about solid fabric in quilts? What about when a quilt is made entirely with solids? Do you find it flat or vibrant?
I find that I'm liking solids on their own more and more. I used to find them bland and boring, but now I find that I'm drawn to them whenever I go to the LQS. I really like how they come in so many shades now, though it means that I want to spend more money to buy all the different colours!
