In quilting do you ever find you have a change of mind on how you feel about a color?

I'm not good at picking out colors to begin with, so I almost always change my mind after making several blocks. I've ended up with multiple quilts in the same pattern, but with different color schemes because I change my mind and pull some colors out and add others in and end up with enough blocks for multiple quilts of different colors. I end up spending so much on fabric because I do this. It's something I'm really trying to improve upon.

I love fall colors. Also batiks. Greens are what my house is decorated in so must make quilts that go with that. So lots of color choices go well even red. Fall colors give me lots of choices.
I dont care for bright colors like lime green and bright orange or bright pink.
Blue just does not blend with my color choices though I do have a collection of turquoise.

I was looking at my stash and realized I have a lot of greens and browns. I don't particularly like those shades (I'm more a turquois and gold person), but looking back over my quilts I really do use a lot of greens and browns, in all sort of shades and tones. I do some landscape quilting, so that must be the reason. Go figure....

Not color for me but I collect deer fabric and just about any quilt I make for family has a piece of deer fabric some where in it. The charity quilts I would run out of my favorite fabric. I do put it in any quilt I make for friends though. RED for me is neutral...I'll put it with any color.....just need the right tone or shade......I love color!
