I don't care for the olive green & purple, or even just the olive green at all, for the most part.

Just an aside, our neighbors went to take up some avocado green shag carpet in their living room, found out the house, which was modular, had been carpeted BEFORE the interior walls were put up. So the carpet went under the inside walls. What a mess.

are you kidding?.....who does that kind of stupid thing? Never in my life heard of doing that.

Modular home and Mobile home builders used to do it as a cost savings. Get the floor down, throw the carpeting and linoleum/vinyl down then put the walls up. My sister bought a new avocado and gold decorated mobile home back in the 70's and hers was carpeted that way. She also had many gouges and cuts in the flooring from careless builders. Meh - you get what you pay for i suppose.

I don't care for the blues in the quilt; something about them is 'off'. The whole quilt is not something I would choose.

Not for me, but to each his own.

Although I don't buy kits, my color preferences are greens and purples - or reds. I'm not a big fan of blues. I actually have a Bonnie Hunter pattern (My Blue Heaven) about half done and have put it away. Too much blue, really wish I'd used something else!

I think it's lovely, but keep in mind that I am somewhat color challenged and green is one of the most challenging colors.

As for purple, years ago, we bought a house where the master bedroom was a lavender color. My husband loved it, I hated it. I think he loved it because he didn't want to have to paint it!
