Solids
#21
I totally agree. That class sounds very informative. I use marbles and tone-on-tones, also; but, there are times when the pattern needs that extra crispness that a mottled or tone-on-tone fabric can't quite deliver.

I hate solids so naturally my daughter gave me three patterns for Mother's Day with a request for Christmas quilts...and since they are vintage video game screens, they have to be ONLY solids. I found all of the 37 colors/shades that I needed on Equilter.com.

I love the tone on tone or splotchy fabrics, Love them, but yesterday was in Joanns and picked up some quilters solid, that was the name on them, apparently Joanns, I don't know. But I got a few yrds, on sale, that is why I bought them. Otherwise I am a toner gal.

I was using a lot of black for awhile. I wish the special was still on I found a 5 yard bolt for 17.00. Wish I had bought more . I still have some 3 years later and its great quality. I have wandered away from solids too. Mostly because this year I am doing the "finish UFO" thingy. Need to get back to sewing. These 2 little foster chihuahua's take a lot of time. More than puppies. lol
