There is nothing wrong with knowing what you like. However, I think it is also important to broaden ones horizon. I bet those other colors are feeling rather left out in your stash. lol Lots of purple prints have other colors in them - you may add by using prints.

Yes you do like purple, on the shelves, ironingboard and in the quilt! I like a lot of colors....
|
i know what you mean. While I do like all kinds of colors - the ones that I don't care for hardly are browns, earthtones, rusts....I want to make a quilt for a friend and those are the colors she likes the most - her least favorite color: blue.....my favorite color: blue..sigh....
Yes, understanding color theory has helped me to broaden my horizons w/ my decorating and quilting. |
I always tell people my favorite color is green, but if you look in my closet, it's clearly purple. But when it comes to quilts, I seem to be stuck on a browns-and-reds-theme.
The reason I like kits/colorways is because someone else has already done the thinking of decing what goes with what! |
I love red and natural, you will allways find a touch of red in my quilts.
|
I love your quilts. I love green. I have a lot of green in my stash. Very rarely do I make a quilt with green as the focus. Hummm, wonder why?
|
Dina your quilt is very nice. I do understand where deemail is coming from, and she is sew right.
Great purple quilt Kathdavis from Missouri. I just love purple and green together. |
I make quilts for other people ,with color and topics that they like, in fact I don't even have a quilt that I have made for myself. If I was to make one for myself it would probably be a scrappy quilt .Because in my scraps stash is probably pieces of matterial that I used in other quilts so I can remember all thequilts too.
|
When I make quilts for people I know, I always use the colors that they pick to wear. One Christmas I didn't!t even wrap my nieces' quilts separately, just put them in a box and figured they would sort it out. LOL, talk about lazy. Anyway, they quickly chose the "right" quilts.

Deemail, I have copied your advice and printed it. I appreciate all the time you took to give it to me. It is better information than I have found yet, and I can use all the help I can get. :) Thank you. Purple is good, but eventually I do want to get better at my fabric selection.
