Green is my favorite, but I use lots of others. Sometimes your eyes need a change.

Blue has always been my favorite color but it's changing. I seem go be going in stages with colors. Colors I used to dislike I now love, like green. I'm on a yellow kick at the moment. And pink is running neck and neck with blue. I must be regressing or something but I'm all about pink these days :D

Yes we are! One thing that baffles me is how a color that use to be ugly to me becomes lovely when it's "in style"- I will never figure that one out :D That color green that I used to detest is everywhere these days and I suddenly love it. Then again I like certain colors for certain things only. Love purple flowers, no love for purple in much else, same with orange. But I continue to have a love affair with color !!!

I know, lately I have been very interested in Earth tones, but could I be "falling out of love" with my favorite?

It's just the opposite with me. Earth tones have always been my favorite but lately I've seen at least half a dozen quilts with various blues that are tempting me. I even started a collection of blues for one of the patterns that I hope to make "one day." Too many projects still at the top of the list yet for me to start another project.

I love blue and I don't really live THAT FAR AWAY.

Yep, by the time you reach your golden years you should have worked your way through all the colors so that your quilts can be as colorful as your patchwork heart.

No, I did not ever completely get over my first love. He was like no other.............He was Mister Ed. But you are not old enough to know who he was? Are you?

Old enough? The mud was still drying after the big flood when I was born. Yes, I remember Mr. Ed---he was beautiful. I think my first loves were Lassie, Red Skelton, Rin Tin Tin and Sky King. Oh, and we can't forget Captain Kangaroo!!!
